Rodeos, Raves and Americana (Remix)

Makers in the Crafty Marketplace

Camp Kesem's Magic Tricks

It’s the first day of camp. Kids are hugging old friends and excitedly running from counselor to counselor, curious to know the camp schedule. Any onlooker can see that Camp Kesem is a joyful place — a magical land protected by smiling counselors with funny names like “Pebbles” and “Phineas."

Tucked away behind the Trader Joe’s at McClintock Drive and Guadalupe Road is a feminine escape from the harsh landscape of Arizona. Leave behind the prickly cacti and concrete, let someone else run up “A” Mountain for a turn, and enter the welcoming doors of Express MiE for a different kind of work out.
