Happy Black History Month #CKFAM! While we all know that #everymonthisBlackhistorymonth, we also know it's important to pause and take time to CELEBRATE Black History & Black Joy! This year, we've asked some of our campers to share what celebrating Black History & Black Joy means to them! Many thanks to Marlie, Kennadi & Osaro for reflecting & sharing with our community!
