"I love Camp iCare because we made a lot of posters and we had some really cool speakers, but most of all, I had fun helping at the food pantry."- Mary-Grissom
Once the activities at the Food Pantry were completed, the participants were given an opportunity to reflect on their time at Camp iCare. Each person was able to write down their favorite part of camp and/or what was learned throughout the week.
