The Junior Auxiliary of Vicksburg would like to thank all the wonderful volunteers who helped make the 11th Camp Silvercloud such a great success. We would especially like to thank the Southern Belles for donating and preparing the snacks and lunches each day. Thank you to Kroger and Nabisco for the food donations as well.

The Knights of Columbus generously provided Camp Silvercloud with a fantastic facility which allowed us to have a wide range of activities for the campers. The campers all loved their T-shirts designed by The Latest Craze. Hopkins Photography provided each camper with a picture to remember their time at Camp Silvercloud.

Thank you again to all who helped JAV provide these very special children a memorable camp experience.
