Camp Finland 2019 Was a Huge Success!

This year, we put on the biggest and best Camp Finland we have ever had from June 17th through 21st! We hosted 29 kids ages 5-11 for the Day Camp and 23 teens ages 12-19 for the Teen Camp, so 52 youth total! This was the most elaborate Camp we have ever put on.

Happy Campers, June 2019

Teen Camp was the biggest new addition, and the biggest logistical challenge, since the teens stayed overnight onsite all week, which required more meals, more oversight, more transportation, and a lot more planning. Day Camp of course was bigger and better in its own way as well!

As always, we had a great roster of Directors, Counselors, Counselors-In-Training, kitchen helpers, class instructors and volunteers, because we couldn’t do it without all of their help. We put a lot of work into it and really enjoyed our week with all of the amazing young people who attended.
