At the end of every summer, each group at Camp Briar Hill performs a camp show. John and his group did an amazing job.  ​​ John also helped with the set decorations. He drew this pirate ship! We truly enjoyed watching John this year!

This was Gillian’s second summer at Camp Briar Hill. Here are some of her adventures!    

We have been sending John to Camp Briar Hill for the past four summers.  Every summer they have someone go around and take photos of the kids during their activities.  Here are some of John’s 2017 Camp Briar Hill Adventures.        

Daddy enjoys a wide variety of music and is constantly introducing new music to the kids.  This is John’s new favorite song.  ​
