A first-week treat for resident campers!

The first week of 2011 Resident Camp at YMCA Camp: Horsethief Reservoir is in the books, and we're off to an exciting start!

This spring, the Y received a grant from the Sierra Club Foundation to give children of military families a free week at camp. Well, thanks to three boys — Gus, Luke and Cole — and their Air Force dad, Scott, first-week campers got a special treat!

The boys received an email from their mom, Emily, to “watch for Dad in the sky.” Sure enough, one morning last week three A-10 jets flew over the camp during Chapel time. The pilots were able to fly very low so the kids got a great look at the aircraft.

It was a great moment for Scott’s sons and all the other amazed campers who got to watch the display. Thank you, Scott (and the other pilots)!
