Nurse Jenny recently snapped this photo of the land sports barn. We liked it and thought you’d enjoying seeing a “winter view” of camp.

Brevard North Carolina Twilight Tour

You know the holidays are here when Brevard enjoys its annual holiday parade and twilight tour. Strolling carolers, horse-drawn carriages, and twinkling Christmas lights filled the streets of Brevard for its annual Twilight Tour on the evening of December3. Downtown became enchanted with the sights and sounds of the holidays, inviting visitors to spend the evening shopping among the local shops.

There was lots to see and do including live musical entertainment, food vendors and craft booths, as well as visits with Santa, elf school, an ice skating rink and carriage rides. A great time was had by everyone despite the rainy weather. Hooray- the season has arrived.

Happy Halloween NC Girls!

Happy Halloween from all of your friends at camp. We hope you have a super day and can not wait to hear all about it. Send us an email and let us know all about your big day.

This year Jerry is going as Elvis, Charlotte will be a black cat, Brenda is Cruella Deville, Margaret Lyle is a mouse and Nurse Jenny’s dog Lucy will be a shark. What fun!!

Monarch Butterfly Migration in NC

As we mentioned in the last newsletter, the Monarch migration is happening this month. The monarchs travel all the way to Mexico for the winter. As a matter of fact it can take the butterflies almost 2 months to get to Mexico depending on where they started. The record flight for a Monarch is over 256 miles in one day. Wow! Check out this link to learn more about the butterfly migration and see real photos of the butterflies in action.
