CAMP - What a terrific Founder's Day weekend, with a parade, a gymnastic exhibition, fun at the Raths and a great Live Band to cap off Saturday night. I hope you were able to join us and enjoy it as much as we did. This weekend brings us the Final Show and the official closing of the Youth Summer Program, the show Saturday night is certain to be entertaining. Come on out and support our young campers and all they have accomplished this summer. With that said, the Camp Season is still in full swing. We have the pool open, dinners planned, more live entertainment, bocce, Tuna, picnics, Football games at the Baren Hohle and much much more. Continue to check the Friday Flyers or the illinoisturners.org website to see the most current scheduled events. Turner Camp is beautiful in the Fall and even though the Youth Program is concluding, Turner Camp still has a lot going on. If you are a frequent Fall visitor, then we look forward to seeing you out there, if not, try something new this year and see what it is all about. Thank you, Cory Litza - Acting Turner Camp President

PEOPLE WONDER WHY I LOVE TURNER CAMP - ITC. Illinois Turner Camp. This place is a safe place. No fights, no accident. Just love. The people here are the best people you'll ever meet. I have so many brothers and sisters that I have made over the years at ITC. The fun, the smiles during the summer are what I look forward to every year. Yes, there is drama and little arguments. But it's to fix or get over. You can tell people something you wouldn't tell maybe your parents or anyone. I trust camp with everything. But the worst part about it. Is leaving. Ik you see them in about 9 months. But I can't wait that long. The best part tho is when it's over you can still talk to them like you would when they are there. The people are my safe place there hasn't been a time when I'm uncomfortable or when I wanted to leave. I get sad leaving for the weekend. This is home and the people are my family. Idk what I would do without you. Kennedy Ivy
Thank you, Kennedy (Rita) for Sharing. Chris Mostyn
