PICTURES VARIETY CAMP This group of young campers trekked on over to Houghten Park to enjoy that park's playground and its’ surrounding fields. They had a great time on their adventure. Link to 29 Pictures These pictures were taken shortly after they arrived back at school. The campers were hot, hungry and thirsty. Ms. Fitzgerald took votes on what video to watch while eating snacks. Link to 7 Pictures. CHEER CAMP - PERFORMANCE FOR FAMILIES The campers showed off their well choreographed routine and skills at 11:00 AM on Thursday, July 28th. Link to 1-minute video. There was a lot of happiness and pride felt by the participants and audience for the campers effort and their impressive skill set. COMMUNITY SERVICE CAMP As previously reported, the community service camp collected pet donations on Wednesday, July 27th for the humane society and St. Albans Animal Shelter. The did so in the name of Jacob Harton, a 15-year old St. Albans resident, who passed away on July 11th, 2022. His parents asked that memorial donations in memory of Jacob be made to the Franklin County Animal Rescue, 30 Sunset Meadow, Saint Albans, VT 05478. Extract from Jacob’s Obituary. Link to full obituary here “He loved his pets so. His rescue cat Shadow came when Jake was only seven and then he rescued his dog Lucy when he was 11. He most often reminisced of the cat who was here when he came home from the hospital and passed soon after, Sam. He remembered Sam so fondly though only through pictures.” COOKING CAMP - BAKE SALE 7-28-2022 Once again the cooking camp’s bake sale proved hugely popular. All kinds of amazing baked products were available for purchase and consumption (mostly with pretend money). Family members attended between 10:00 and 11:00 AM and then camp participants dropped by for treats in the time remaining until camp dismissal. Link to 16 Pictures. Following in the community service camp’s footprints, the cooking campers collected cash donations to send to the Franklin County Humane Society animal shelter, also in memory of Jacob Harton. A paper bag with $100 dollars was gathered at the cash table by the end of the morning. DELIVERY OF PET SUPPLIES Early Thursday morning (7-27-2022) the community service group walked over to the Franklin County Humane Society animal shelter. Once there, they unloaded and carried in all the donated pet supplies that they had gathered the previous day. One of the shelter volunteers then toured the campers around the facility. The shelter contained a huge range of cats and just a few dogs. There were many kittens, some adult cats and one very mature 17 year old cat. It was humbling seeing how kindly the animals are being treated at the shelter. Everyone present felt the urge to adopt an animal. Link to 18 Pictures.
