Day-3 RFKC's Got Talent

As with most camps, the RFKC campers have many opportunities  for outdoor adventures,   One of the big draws today was the archery course.  Lee, our archery


instructor lead the campers through the correct way to hold and fire a bow and arrow.  Within a matter of a few tries, our campers were hitting targets ranging from printed turkeys attached to bales of straw to a life size replica of a deer.  This activity is not only fun for the campers but helps them quickly gain a sense of accomplishment and can help build their self esteem. 

Another outdoor activity that the campers really enjoy is sailing.  Our host camp goes out of


their way to make our RFKC camp very special for our campers.  This is the second year a member of our host camp staff has offered to sail our campers around the lake.  The campers came back from the lake tour with excitement written all over their faces. 

 

 







 The excitement continued with the  Birthday Party.  This party is an annual event where each child's birthday is called out  and the whole group sings Happy Birthday to each of the campers.  Of course any birthday would not be complete without presents and cake.




After dinner, it was time for the RFKC talent show. Each camper has a safe, risk free environment in which to share their talent.  We have singers, puppeteers, dancers and a few talents you might not likely see at any other talent show.  It makes no difference all performers receive cheers and applause when they've finished their performance.

So ends another fun day at RFKC.
