Welcome to the 2019 Season

Happy New Year to all Colts' members, office and instructional staff, volunteers, parents and families!  Hope you had a fun, safe and enjoyable holiday season.

It's been 1 1/2 weeks since our last camp and ONLY 1 1/2 weeks until the next.  Can hardly wait.  In the meantime, check out the 2019 Cook's Calendar under Important Links on the right to help decide when you're able to volunteer on the Cooktruck.  To sign up, or if you have any questions, email us at volunteers@colts.org.

Travel safe if you're heading to Dubuque for camp.  Looking forward to seeing you.
