COMFORT – A Blanco youth received an award at the end of her week of camping at Hermann Sons Youth Camp this summer.

A week at Hermann Sons Youth Camp is offered as a fraternal benefit to junior members between the ages of 9 and 13. Eight weekly sessions are held each year at two sites - Riverside Camp for girls and Hilltop Camp for boys. Both are accredited by the American Camp Association.

Reilly Burnett was named Best Camper during Week 1 at Riverside Camp. Burnett, the daughter of Dawn and Kurt Burnett, is a member of San Marcos Hermann Sons Lodge No. 26.

Hermann Sons is a fraternal insurance society. It offers its members a variety of life insurance plans, annuity and IRA products plus other services.
