Summer Music Camp Pictures 

CAMP B:

Counselors for Camp B:  Benjamin & Gracie

Both counselors grew up in the Jingle Jamboree Music Summer Camps, Music Club and Music Classes.  One day I complimented Benjamin for the great job he was doing as a counselor and he said:  "When I was in the camp it was a great experience for me, so I want to do everything I can so the boys and girls will have the same experience that I did."  AND that is what makes a great counselor for the camps.

CAMP A:
