“ My daughter Heidi would love to take part in Camp Birkie this year. She had a blast last year!”

“I would like to register my two children for Camp Birkie. They attended last year and had a GREAT time.”

“I haven’t done the Birkie since we had our 2nd and 3rd child – as child care for so many young children gets difficult. I did the Birkie for YEARS before that; your camp gives me the incentive to participate again this year.”
