While regulatory authorities have approved GM food that is on the market, some people are concerned that […]

Terrific Tuesday! – August 6, 2018

Another great day at camp! Started the morning with “relax & swim” earlybird and during team time, we wrapped up our body image module.

Woo hoo! Another empowering day!

Week One Ends in Style!!

This was swiftly followed by a refreshing water break, La Tienda time, and then a camp pool party to […]
