GDG- camp advice

[collins.d at comcast.net]

Hello,

If any of your students ever played with toy soldiers...along the Taneytown Road, there is a RV park where they care for the horses used for the horse tour. In the building is the largest diorama east of the Mississippi River, which shows the 3 day battle of Gettysburg.

I believe there is a miniature golf course on the Baltimore Pike.
