Work Day Volunteers

A special thank you to all the volunteers who so generously donated their time and effort assisting Camp Stix and Camp Bear Paw. The diligent workers were able to complete all chores on the list!

Here is an email from Papa Bear expressing his gratitude:

Hi All,

Mamabear and I thank you for all your help yesterday at the work day. Being a go-for, I was unable to thank you all personally for the help you provided in getting the camp ready for summer. But know that your efforts were appreciated. Some jobs may not have seemed important, but everything you did contributed to making Bear Paw a better place. Camp STIX is the only group that does a work day.

Awesome job Camp Stix!!!

Spokane Central Lions Club

We would like to thank the Spokane Central Lions Club for the fabulous fundraiser for Camp STIX. The production of Steel Magnolias by the Spokane Civic Theater was excellent. Thank you for the wonderful evening and all your support!
