After sold-out summer camps, VeryVera is offering themed fall camps.

Witches’ brew and a baked confection called witches’ hats were on the menu Saturday for the first Halloween camp at Vera’s cottage on Wheeler Road.

Children for Saturday’s sold out camp also participated in Halloween themed crafts.

Another camp is scheduled for Oct. 8 with Thanksgiving camps slated for November and Christmas camps in December. Call (706) 922-4646  for more information and camp signups.
