This week, we will be going on a hike at the Garden of the Gods for game night. Be sure to bring proper footwear, class B uniform, a headlamp/flashlight, and some water for the hike. Arrive at the north parking lot at 7:00 pm. Also, while unpacking from summer camp, if you discovered something that wasn’t yours, please bring it so we can find the owner. Also, I would like to officially present the Buffalo Bill Summer camp awards/badges at the August Court of Honor, so please get them all to me when you can.
