SouTHWOODS SWIMS FOR MORRYS CAMP
For the
past week, Southwoods campers as well as staff have had the opportunity to help
share the camp experience they know and love with other kids who wouldn’t
normally be able to experience it. The Project Morry Swim-A-Thon started on
Monday, July 14. All campers and staff are invited to voluntarily participate
by either swimming or walking laps on the Southwoods running track.
Andrea and
Scott invite our campers
to take part and generously
donate money for each lap completed
towards sending kids to Project Morry, who otherwise would not have the opportunity. So many of our camp families also
elect to support this amazing organization and of course we would invite all of our
camp parents to support their camper as they learn to embrace wonderful philanthropic organizations like project Morry.
Project
Morry is a nonprofit, year-round youth development organization, anchored by a
residential summer camp with an educational focus. Our LITs organize and manage
this program. They track our campers and staff progress each day and announce the cumulative lap count each night at
lineup. At the end of
the Swim-A-Thon the LITs will share with parents how many laps their camper has completed and provide the opportunity to make a
donation.
We are so
very proud of the fact that out of the 30 plus organizations, over the last 18
years, Southwoods has always been one of the top camps for parent
participation. It is easy to see why we have such kind and caring campers here
at Southwoods. Thank you for your generous support in helping those less
fortunate have the opportunity to experience summer camp. Most of all, thank
you for sharing such great children with us!!!
