We have had many visitors at camp lately, including Drengr Jiu-Jitsu to teach the youth, as well as our very own Duluth YMCA CEO, Sara Cole, who rehabilitates bunnies and released some with our campers. We also took some time to watch a Hermantown girls' soccer game. Summer is wrapping up, and we are fitting in all the fun we can!
