☀️ How’s the Weather?
Sunny with a high of 96, low of 62
Counselors remind campers every day to drink water throughout the day and to apply (and re-apply) sunscreen. These kids are in good hands!
🛠 In Case You Missed It …
Check out our 2020 Impact Report for what Tawonga was up to during the pandemic. Although we weren’t able to run Camp last summer, there are plenty of moments worth celebrating, including the construction of a brand new Health Center! See how our community came together and shared our mission during an incredibly challenging year.
The Tawonga Tidbit provides a daily dose of Camp with our kitchen menu, Camp birthdays and more. We hope this series brings you a bit closer to Tawonga!
