The young musical performers from our sister city of I-Lan, Taiwan, visited the youth center several times last week. The Kids Kamp children enjoyed their arrival and learned to make masks and macrame bracelets using Chinese knots. On Friday, several of the Taiwanese kids performed an hour-long concert in the gym of the youth center.
