Summer camp volunteer sign up is now available!

2014 TACO Summer Camp Wish List

Here is a general wish list for 2014 Summer Camp (it does not include parade items!)
**None of the items need to be new!! We would prefer used items that you can’t use anymore**
I will post any items that TACO would like for our 2014 Summer Camp in this document. The items posted will be used in arts and crafts, horse education, or the riding area! This will be an on-going list that will be updated as we decided on specific activities for camp.
I will also update the list when the items have been donated!
The hopes with this list is we can save some money by using donated/used items that people have around their house.
