There are 2 summer working weekends left. We have a need for many workers for each weekend for the rest of the summer.
In summary there are hundreds and hundreds of estimated man hours remaining to complete our summer goals. We would like to remind everyone to help by coming up to Kamp Kipa so we can be ready to hold our first camp this fall.
