TOA Seminar

Camp Tellico

Another year of Camp Tellico has come and gone! This year's theme was the Wild West! There were 64 children in attendance over the two weeks of camp. We crafted and made tie-dye shirts, had some painting projects, enjoyed the pool, and tried some new sports like tennis and pickleball.

We want to thank all of the volunteers from the Tellico Village Tennis Club and the Tellico Village Pickleball Club for helping to make Camp Tellico such a success.

Check out some of our pictures from Camp Tellico, and remember to be on the lookout for information for the upcoming year.
