Summer 2012 Week 1
|
|
We're Off to a Great Start!
Rolling River Summer 2012 has officially begun! It's been a fantastic first two days of camp and it feels like the campers never left. The first day was filled with our favorite camp activities and the Navigators even journeyed off campus to Dave & Busters. Today's Birthday Block Party was the best birthday party we have ever seen! Our entire camp started the day by singing "happy 20th birthday" to RRDC and admired the huge birthday sailboat birthday cake made out of 800 peanut-free cupcakes. The day finished with a dance party, special shows and all campers even signed an 8 foot birthday card. We can't wait for next week!
For more information about next week's events and activities, please click on the yellow links to the left.
REMEMBER- NO CAMP NEXT WEDNESDAY FOR FOURTH OF JULY!
Have a safe and fun holiday!
*For anyone that placed a special apparel order:
Orders will be completed around the second week of July.
Baja Man will call you directly when your order is ready.
