Brittany’s Special Friends Camp

Brittany’s Special Friends Camp was held recently in Franklin. There were 24 campers at the event held at the Franklin High School gym, and as many volunteers. Guests included the St. Mary Parish Sheriff’s Department along with their robot friend and K9 dog. The Franklin Fire Department gave campers rides in the FFD fire truck and spoke on fire safety. Captain P’s Honey Bees spoke on the importance of honey bees and the process of being a beekeeper and extracting honey. Dane Thibodeaux with The Teche Project explained what trash does to the environment, and of course, Mitch the Magician was on hand. The sheriff’s office supplied pizzas on the last day on the Oaklawn property, the site of the project’s activity center. There were also water slides and fun jumps.
