This summer the upper camp girls participated in a new option period, community service.  The girls who had chosen community service were able to work with Allison Miller in creating a way to give back.  Following visiting day, the campers are allowed to have their candy for 48 hours.  Allison and the girls came up with an idea called Operation Canteen to collect the candy after the deadline.   After distributing fifty four Starlight tin boxes to the boy and girl HC’s the campers were told to gather their left over visiting day candy and place it in the boxes.   Once the committee collected all the boxes, Allison will send them to the troops fighting for us in the Middle East.  We are all very excited to know that we are going to give back to the people who really deserve it!
