It's finally spring! This means summer is right around the corner. Don't miss the excitement of Summer at RDC this year with more camps offered than ever before.
Here are just a few things your teen can gain from summer camp:
| Lifelong memories | Education and new skills | | Teamwork | Positive, encouraging role models | |
Confidence
| Independence | |
Support and a sense of community
|
Responsibility and character building

Summer camp is also a perfect opportunity for parents to catch up on their own lives. Rather than acting as full-time parent and chauffeur, you can relax knowing your child or teen is growing and maturing into a young adult you will be proud of.
