This summer, Crooked Creek Park Summer Safari campers are selling lemonade and treats on Fridays to raise money for our Meals on Wheels program, benefiting Chapin seniors in need.

Through the lemonade stand, our older campers gain valuable life skills in service, responsibility, and teamwork while learning the value of giving back to their community.

Stop by the Summer Safari pick-up area on Fridays between 3:00-5:30 p.m., grab a treat, and support both our campers and a meaningful community program.
