This year Campamento Estrella will again be held on July 25-30 for 30 children (age 9-12) from San Juan Cosala. The photos shown above are from last year’s camp, which was a smash hit.

We are currently seeking donations to cover the cost of art supplies, food, camp T-shirts and the salaries of the young Mexican camp counselors. 600 pesos ($40 U.S.) will send one child to camp, but we greatly appreciate donations in any amount.

Donations may be made at Diane Pearl’s, Viva Mexico Restaurant in San Juan Cosala or by contacting Judy Dykstra-Brown at jubob2@hotmail.com (387 761-0281), Audrey Zikmund at az62343@gmail.com (766 106-0821) or Jere Fyvolent at jeredepaul@yahoo.com. (387-761- 0813.) Donations may also be made via Paypal to jeredepaul@yahoo.com 

The camp will culminate with a dance performance by camp participants as well as performances by the San Juan Children’s Orchestra and Chorus and the Ajijic Ukulele group at 3-5 p.m. on Saturday, July 30 at Viva Mexico. Please call 387 761-1058 for table reservations if you wish to attend that performance. They will be serving from their regular menu. Admission to the show is free, but any donations to help fund next year’s camp will be gratefully accepted. Next year we hope to include a second week of camp in El Chante.
