•The whole Camp-Mi-Bro-Be experience
•Details surrounding the daily life at camp
•Mrs. Becky Elder-School Health Manager regarding food allergy concerns, medication needs/concerns, etc.
•Mr. Len Muni, Director of Camp Mi-Bro-Be
We encourage you and your child to attend this informative meeting and stay for the question and answer time at the end. We look forward to the experiences and life-long memories your child will make by attending Camp Mi-Bro-Be.
