178TH YOUTH CAMP

 For the second year, Grimes-Kohl VFW Post 103 1, with the help of the VFW Ohio Charities is sponsoring the 178th Air National Guard Youth Camp. ANG Youth Camp is a residential camping opportunity for 40 youth of military personnel. It gives them a chance to interact with and learn from each other in an effort to help deal with deployment and family related stress. Some of the activities are low rope, high rope, archery, swimming, and rock climbing. The VFW is the sole sponsor of this camp.
