Field: Program is going GREAT! Hopefully it will be a little warmer next week just in time for rock concert! Remember to send them with plenty of water and have them wear plenty of sunscreen especially in the heat. Also just a reminder that no food and/ or toys are allowed at program because they are major distractions amongst the campers. I can’t wait to see everyone’s amazing dances they make up for rock concert next Friday!! Congratulations to our Campers of the Week: Tiny Tots:  Sebastian Werckmeister and Dex Peterson
Program: Lorenzo Koehler and Raina Kane!
Pool: Despite some rain, this week at the pool went great! Everyone has been working hard to improve their strokes during swim lessons, and a special shoutout goes to Jax Coffee, Mason Maddox, Cassidy Koester, and Kennedy Ivy for advancing to the next swim group! Congratulations to last week's Swimmers of the Week: Tiny Tots - Dylan Odachowski, Beginners - Carter Gibson, Advanced Beginners - Kylee Maddox, Intermediates - Isaac Byrne, Swimmers - Parker DeRusha, Advanced Swimmers & Water Safety - Keith Koehler. Keep up the awesome job campers, and keep swimming!

Take a look around camp!!! We have a new split rail fence down by the Rathskeller, new Horseshoe pits, trees have been coming down for everyone’s safety along with the hard task of tree clean up, the big parking lot has new gravel, Baseball Field is done and has not look that great in years (if ever), grass has been a big job to keep cut with all of this rain, the pool looks great and the baby pool will be done soon and for the first time we have a Tiny Tot Garden (looking forward to enjoying their first cop of veggies in the Rathskeller).  I hope I haven’t missed anything.  THANK YOU TO EVERYONE FOR WORKING SO HARD!!! This is true TURNERISM at its best!!!! Chris Mostyn

IT HAS BEEN BROUGHT TO MY ATTENTION – PEOPLE ARE DRIVING VERY FAST. PLEASE SLOW DOWN! Now that camp is open everyone will need to unload and move your vehicles to the parking lots.  It makes no difference if it is a public road or not it is about the safety of our children, as well as being able to use the road to drive in and out and not having to maneuver around parked cars. Thank you, Art Stevenson
