Red, White and Blue...For America!

Talk about some American Pride today...AMAZING!!! There is a ton of Red, White and Blue all around camp and its great to see all of the spirit around especially this morning in assembly was filled with it.  Ryan lead our assembly today and got everyone pumped up with some dancing and even singing.  He also started us off with hold the pole, Tusker from camp 1, s well as our thought for the day ("Only a true friend will tell you when you have dirt on your face").  We heard from 3 campers who all shared their touching responses regarding what it means to be a true friend.
Our Mr. America contest was in full force as well.  We had our introductions yesterday (Mr. New York, Mr, California and  our very own Mr. North Carolina).  Today was the talent portion of our contest.  Take a look at some of the pics...I would have to say it was pretty entertaining in person as well;)

The spirit stick went to the Toads...way to go Toads!  We cant wait to see how they decorate it today.

Time for Ranks!!!!
This morning our ranks consisted of Performing Arts, Creative Arts, Soccer, Kickball, Ultimate Frisbee for C3, Tennis, Basketball, Fossil Hunt (everyone's favorite), Backyard Games and we can not forget Swimming for C1 and C2.  The campers are enjoying a beautiful day outside, a little warm but they are not complaining because everything is open and ready for the fun to begin.  There are tons of campers carrying their water bottles around, so please help us encourage your campers to bring the water and drink lots of it during the day.

The rest of the day is slammed packed. Its just about time for quick check and then lunch!!!!  Yuummmmm:) So, I am off to enjoy some lunch with the campers!

Just a reminder that there is NO CAMP tomorrow!  **Happy 4th of July**

We will be back in full force on Thursday, and look forward to seeing you all then.
If your camper would like to wear their red, white and blue spirit wear again on Thursday, we will be offering another wacky tacky day for everyone!


Have a safe and happy holiday!




























Monday FunDay

Wow...Monday went by so fast and was filled with so much fun, that I didn't get a chance to post some more of pics from yesterday.  So, here are a few for y'all to enjoy:)  Yesterday afternoon, Gaga Ball was definitely the place to be as well as basketball.  Camp 3 enjoyed some pool time to cool off. 

Hope your campers had a great first day...If by chance your camper lost anything yesterday, please come by and check out our lost and found in the camp office.  We are starting to get a nice collection of towels and water bottles;)

Party in the USA...Week 4

Happy Monday All...
Hope everyone had a great weekend stayed cool!

We are so glad we have so many new faces this week to enjoy all of camps glory as well as to celebrate America's birthday:) What an awesome week!!!!!

It has been an awesome day at RSDC thus far...We started off this morning with a fun filled assembly...out of this world dancing skills, hold the pole, Mr. America contest, Hunter's birthday, a pie in the face, some camp rules and of course the spirit stic.  way to go Mutten Chops:)
Then, Ranks opened up and the kids were off.  Our new campers ranks had the oppurtunity to have a camp tour so they knew where to go. 
Check out some of the pics below to see some of the stuff that we have been up too today..

On another note, the campers have done an amazing job at carrying their waterbottles around and staying hydrated.  There is a camper challenge going on that for every camper that is seen carrying their water bottle, they can earn a respect or responsibility bead...so dont forget to send your camper with a water bottle!!!  Beads are everything, so help them get an extra bead or two:)

Before I head off for camp time and afternoon ranks, just a friendly reminder that tomorrow is RED, WHITE and BLUE. We are going to celebrate America's birthday in style:)

Until later... stay cool:)
