The official Julien C Hyer International Youth Exchange Camp for 2021 was canceled due to the current Covid-19 mandatory testing and quarantine restrictions, which was going to make it difficult for the campers from Europe & Asia to enter the U.S. and return to their home countries. Therefor the JCH Board of Directors decided to hold a local 2 day “Day Camp 2021” for about 20 DFW area students 13 – 16yrs of age from Grand Prairie, Dallas, Cleburne, Everman and Colleyville. The Day Camp was held on Wednesday, June 23 and Thursday, June 24. We are hopeful to continue this local Day Camp opportunity as well as the International Camp in the future.
