This year's theme was “Cowgirls and Indi- ans” and the campers participated in theme-based activities. Under the di- rection of Michele Tomaselli and her assistant Jill Martin, the campers en- joyed crafts such as tin punching and making cactus replicas. They also learned various recipes to cook over a campfire and line-dancing. A Pow Wow took place with Frank Little Bear. Cadette and Senior Girl Scout coun- selors and many parent volunteers di- rected the programs throughout the week. Holding a troop sign, from left, are members Mercedes Whitaker, Kel- sey Monahan, Ashley Strazdus and Samantha Starbuck.
