We are still 2 months from Camp and we have  45 kids already registered .  That's almost 1/2 of all the spaces filled.  What a blessing to see these registrations coming through this early.  Can't wait to see you all in June! If you have not registered your children, be sure to reserve a spot for them and register online or print the registration form and turn it in to Mike or Denise. http://tx.ag/efcacamp
