Memories from Summer 2007

Over 1300 resident campers enjoyed a week

of summer camp at Betsy-Jeff Penn this

summer.  Young people ate, slept, grew and learned together, having a blast the entire time.

  Don't Just Take Our

Word For It.....

Representatives from the local newspaper,

The Reidsville Review , visited camp for a

week this summer.  They interviewed staff,

talked with campers and took lots of pictures.  The web professionals at the paper then  compiled these snippets of summer camp into

a narrated video.  Check it out here.

Cloverbud Camps, Adventure Trips & Other Age-Specific Options
