Lip Synch
On the final Thursday of each session the campers and staff enjoy the Lip Synch presentation. There were some memorable moments last summer!  (And a few not so so memorable!)  Click below to view some photos from last summer's Lip Synch presentations. Unfortunately, we had some camera problems during Session 1's Lip Synch and there are only a few photos from that session.
