emember when Luther Hall collapsed last winter due to heavy snow?
Well do not fear, it’s back!!!! Luther Hall was rebuilt in time for
our first group of campers to arrive.
uther Hall’s large space welcomes a lot of camp activities: many a
basketball game, time to sit and enjoy conversation with new-found
friends in the camper lounge, challenges to games of foosball or carpet
ball, and the creation of hundreds of arts and crafts projects. It’s great
to have you back, Luther Hall! Thanks to all the volunteers who made
it possible.
