Spring 2006 season comes to a close
June 9, 2006...Hopefully they have shown you some of the new and different choices they were able to make while here at Camp Highland and they continue to understand how important they are and how their choices make a difference! CHOSS will shut down for the summer as our hills, trees, rocks and friends will miss all of the energy your child was able to bring to our site this year.
Have a great summer!
It has been a tremendous season but, alas, it will be drawing to a close with our last schools of the season visiting us through June 9th. Camp Highland saw more than 1800 young Californians visit us since January. We had a blast teaching and learning with your children and appreciate all of the hard work. We hope that we were able to provide them with a true learning experience that they can take home with them to share with their family and friends.
