2009

 Camp Circle of Friends is Now Over and it was a Huge Success. The campers had a great time as well as our volunteers. We had such a terrific turnout that we actually accepted a few extra kids and obviously had to turn away many as well too. Remember, we cannot accept every kid (as much as we would like). It is a first come first serve basis. There is always next year so please make sure if you are a member of the ASNCI that your contact information is updated at least yearly and we send out Camp Information in Mid May. If you check our website regularly you will see updated information about Camp. Thanks again to ALL of the Wonderful Volunteers that took time out of their Busy Summer to help us out. We could not have done it without you.
