YMCA Pre-Conference "Camping
Update"
Join fellow Y camp professionals and

your own questions and accomplishments
to share, too. Afterwards
you'll have the option to join
with your peers at a remarkable place,
Disney's Animal Kingdom Lodge
(worth the trip just for the ideas,
but the buffet of African-themed food
at "Boma" is something
you'll be able to tell the friends
about back home.) Web site for
meeting information: www.ymcaexchange.org/front/programs/camping/.
Registration Fee:
$10. To register, or for more information,
contact Gary Forster, Y-USA Camping
