17 military families enjoyed a weekend of adventure at YMCA Camp Surf thisSeptember. Children challenged their parents to a race up the rock wall, ex-plored the sea creatures of the beach, and families bonded together overs 'mores around the camp fire. One family wrote, This wonderful experiencegave my family the opportunity to re-connect and bond in a relaxing environ-ment. We would not have been able to participate, had you not made this possi-ble. You have helped us to create lasting memories and have brought huge

smiles to my childrens faces, Thank you!
