This is a dog friendly event so please bring the whole household out to join in the fun!

Working with Camp Hometown Heroes, it is our desire to bring HONOR and ENCOURAGEMENT to children and families of fallen service members across the nation. Camp Hometown Heroes provides 2 week-long summer camp sessions and other healing programs for children ages 7-17. Since 9/11 over 5,000 children have lost a parent who served in the military. Our goal is to support as many of these children as possible.  THANK YOU for your support and contributing in this way!
