Camp Imagine 2014!


I just can’t say enough about the wonderful kids this year at Camp Imagine:  generous with each other, kind, open, creative, willing, sweet, thoughtful, imaginative, fun, funny (with no lack of personality!)  It was just a dream for Ross and I!

So, what happens when you get a wonderful group of kids together and you add a dash of music, a pinch of paint, a bucket of art supplies, a hint of a story and a fairy door?
