Julie Ratchford, camp moderator of Dalton will be hosting camps featuring these activities through August of this year. The first “The American Girl Celebrates America!” was held on Monday, June 30 and will run through July 3. The American Girl is a national brand that offers a variety of age-appropriate, dolls, books, clothing and accessories.

All activities take place at Ratchford’s house as she said of the girls, “They’re comfortable here, they’re relaxed. It’s not a big building. It’s a nice country home setting.”

Shown are children participating in the “The American Girl Celebrates America!” camp, during Monday, June 30 the camp’s first day. For more information on the camps that run later this summer contact Ratchford at 563-4447.
