New for 2009! Classes will cover a range of new topics as recommended by Camp Director Mike Compton. Taking into consideration the suggestions of campers from prior years, he is working with the other faculty members to create the best curriculum ever. Please check back for the class curriculum and schedule. Will Kimble will set up shop in The Cafe and will be available for setups and minor repairs by appointment.
