Dear Santa Contest
Tell us why someone special that you know deserves a trip to fish at Tall Pines Camp next year. Maybe they've had a tough year either emotionally, physcially, or financially. Maybe they always do for others and you want them to feel honored. Maybe its a special milestone for them and you want them to be able to celebrate at Tall Pines. Or maybe you're a student who wants to work on your persuasive writing skills and want to treat Mom/Dad/Uncle/Grandparent. We know there are so many incredible people out there each with their own story. This is your chance to tell that story, and our chance to give back in a meaningful way.
