Your Efforts at Work - CAB Low Ropes
|
|
We are continuing to highlight the great work of our members and donors who contributed to the Girl Scouts Love CAMPaign.
One of the goals of this campaign was to improve existing elements at GSHH's camp properties, which is exactly what you did for the low ropes course at Camp Addisone Boyce! The updates that the CAMPaign provided for the CAB low ropes course allow Girl Scouts more opportunities to challenge themselves and have fun outdoors!
Thank you again for the hard work and generosity of everyone who worked on and contributed to the Girl Scouts Love CAMPaign!
Stay tuned for more updates throughout the summer!
