IT'S THE LAST DAY OF SUMMER CAMPS!

Can't believe we finally made it to the end. We had such a fun and exciting summer. We added 2 more groups to our program this year, which doubled our usual capacity.

We had so many trips, so many learning experiences, so many opportunities to be leaders, and made so many new friends and connections.

We cannot wait to apply everything we learned this summer to next and have another amazing year!

Thank you to everyone who partnered with our groups over the summer, and thank you to City of Saint John for bringing down the Community Block Party Trailer this afternoon. We had a BLAST!

See everyone next summer!
