Week 2 brought lots of excitement when an epic showdown erupted between our camp band, SWAG, and the notorious Snack Bandits!

The Snack Bandits tried to disrupt the tour, but thanks to some extra security and the determination of our campers, SWAG took the stage and delivered an unforgettable performance!

A huge congratulations to our Coaches of the Week and Campers of the Week for their outstanding leadership, positivity, and camp spirit!
