Jon Barron became Bear Trap's director in July of 2008 when Jon and Lydia moved their family of five from Alabama. Rachel, who is nine, is enjoying Bear Trap's horses. Deborah, who is seven, has a love for flowers and is hoping the rain will bring out more of Colorado's wildflowers. And Titus, the Barron's two year old boy, is enjoying the volleyballs, frisbees, and other balls around camp.
