Camp moved to The Playhouse Friday. It’s a great venue, air conditioned, spacious, great sound system, air conditioned, beautiful, air conditioned. . .

So come on down a bit before 5:30 and celebrate with us a little music. There will be drinks and snacks available for purchase.

We have a silent auction set up (thanks to Pixie Elmose) and a Raffle Quilt to draw for (thanks to Jill Flikkema) and a banjo (thanks to Dawn & Bryce)

71 kids, 12 or 13 teachers, 10 on-site volunteers, countless behind-the-scenes volunteers, and our sponsors Wyoming Arts Council, Johnson County Tourism Association, the county recreation district, the National Endowment for the Arts, the Dan Carlat-Occidental Jam Memorial Scholarship Fund, Tommy Jones and our lovely community.

We are tired, grateful, and excited for our kids❤️
