Family Camp will be held at Camp McCormick in McCormick's Creek State Park on Friday, June 24th beginning at 3pm through Sunday, June 26th at 12noon. Please plan to attend for any or all of camp this year! Please let Angela Sturdevant know that you will be attending so there will be enough food for all. We will enjoy the traditional menu and events. Jean Sherfick is ordering T-shirts so contact Jean to order your shirt! Name three words that come to mind when you think of Family Camp?
