Mingus Mountain Camp Hall Meetings

We are so happy to have campers return for summer camp this year!  Of course, because Covid is going to continue to be a part of our lives, we will still be living with precautions and restrictions to help keep everyone safer. That shared, Mingus Mountain is hosting online “Camp Hall Meetings” to share about what our campers will experience this summer.  Parents and guardians are invited to join us for one or both of the upcoming Camp Hall Meetings to hear what to expect.  Additionally, we will seek parent/guardian input, provide an opportunity to ask questions, and share ways that Mingus can best partner with families as we ride out the virus.

Below are the dates/times of the Camp Hall Meetings.  Parents/guardians are welcome to come to one or both of the meetings.

Thursday, February 11th from 7:00 – 8:00 pm MST
Thursday, February 18th from 7:00 – 8:00 pm MST

To receive the Zoom link, please email Cat Holbert, DSC Camp Executive Director.
