 CAMP HURON ...HERE WE COME!! 

 Thanks to all who contribute to “send a child to camp”!  We did it! 

 St. John's-by-the-Lake raised enough to send 10 children to camp and St. Anne’s raised enough to send 3 children to camp.  

 The cost is $740.00 for one week to sponsor one person and tax receipts are available.  Please make your cheque out to St. John's-by-the-Lake and put Camp Huron in the tag line. Any amount is welcome!  

The placement of the kids is coordinated through South Huron Big Brothers/Big Sisters.  

 On May 4, Rev. Gerry Adams the Camp Director from Camp Huron, will be at St. John’s-By-The-Lake to speak to us about this wonderful camp.   www.camphuron.ca
