YACing It Up

Splashdown!  YAC 2010YAC weekend 2011 kicks off in Jamestown on Friday.  This Fantastic weekend nurtures a community of support for young adult survivors and brings old camp friends back together again.  

 

Last year we went to a Splashdown waterpark (clearly a big hit with the YACer at right).  This year we figure we’ll cut out the middle man and head straight to the ocean.  Sunshine and sea air; that’s what it’s all about.
