Dive Right In: July 20-24
Ahoy, mateys! It was another wonderful week at camp! We loved seeing everyones smiling faces for Picture Day. Our Coin Harvest was a huge success and we can not thank our wonderful campers and generous families for their donations. Camp Kindness Day was another special day down at the Riva where each group made a puzzle piece explaining what kindness means to them. We pieced together the puzzle to show how we can all come together to be kind to one another.
Activities around camp this week focused on soccer and the FIFA World Cup. Each project and activity prepared us for the big event of FIFA day! Campers and staff arrived representing their favorite countries, and enjoyed a wide array of soccer-themed activities including inflatables and bubble soccer games!
“Sea” below for all the exciting adventures and ways we’ll show our love for our community when we kick off RRDC GIVES BACK week!
