Christmas at Elk Hill

"My Christmas Wish is that everyone can celebrate Christmas with their family!" "Thank you Elk Hill for helping me change my life and be with my family this Christmas!" Youngsters  in the Elk Hill Farm programs and schools shared these wishes at the annual Christmas celebration held in the W. E. Singleton Chapel on December 18th.

As residents, students, faculty, staff, families, board members and friends gathered to celebrate the successes of the central Virginia institution that has helped so many youth throughout Virginia, " helping kids and families find courage"  had a special meaning.  A Christmas feast followed the Chapel  service in the Brown Dining Hall with a special visit from Santa, his elves and a Snow Queen on roller skates.
