FOL Friends of Lakewood

Amazing afternoon celebrating our Lakewood teachers, admin and staff at the FOL Lakewood Year End Luncheon.

FOL’s Camp Lakewood Spring 2024 takes us out to the astonishing cool Grady Spruce campground! We take over the camp for a weekend and enjoy the cabins that rest along the shores of Possum Kingdom Lake. Take a short boat ride over to Hells Gate and hike to the top or enjoy a slow horseback ride or even a zoom down a zip line! It’s going to be an amazing weekend. Feb 23-25 Registration is open now! http://www.foldallas.org/CampLakewood

Camp Lakewood is back and I love this year’s shirt design. The growth rings of the tree symbolize consecutive campouts, with one large ring removed (the Covid year). Shoutout to James Wilson for this awesome design.

Here are some “Proof of Life” pictures. Kids are having a blast and dads are behaving (for the most part)

Big thanks to Davey Farris (aka Sharknado), Dave Stanton, GP Theriot, and the rest of the FOL Crosswalk crew. You’ve been a huge help all year and made the last day of drop off super special!!
