Spring Activities - Sarah Graves

Sarah Graves and Gianna did most of the cooking and did a great job. 


Sarah Graves loves hiking and the walking trails were really nice. 


The suspension bridge was challenging for some and really cool for others!

I thought it was cool!








The ziplining was great and the guides were really kind and helpful making sure it was a good experience for everyone!

Fun times for these girls trying new things and having fun together!
