Visitors:

New Day would not be New Day without an amazing array of people who cannot stay for the whole week, but come by and offer their support.  These are people who have been counselors before, are thinking of becoming counselors or just want to help out in any way possible.  Either way, they are truly members of the New Day Community.  We would like to thank the following people for helping out in so many ways to make this previous summer camp (New Day: The Cruise) amazing!  (Click on a name to send an email!)
