Are we really thinking about summer camp before Thanksgiving even hits?
Um, yes.
It’s a tradition to give each camper at Camp Catch-Up their very own homemade blanket to keep them warm at camp and take home as a keepsake. Now, with three camps each summer, it’s getting harder to get all those blankets made.
So this year, Project Everlast Omaha hosted a blanket party! We had counselors, employees, young adults, volunteers and one enthusiastic dog join us for an evening of cutting and tying cheery fleece blankets for next year’s campers.
