Today was amazing!!! We've got some awesome shots and highlights so here we go!
#1: Woodworking
Woodworking is always a hit with the campers. Turns out the master craftsman and carpenters can make almost anything the kids can think of! Boats, race cars, tanks, bird houses, doll houses..you name it! Once it's made it's often taken to a painting area where the camper and their buddy will paint it as they so desire. Bryon and Rod have done an amazing job this year!

# 2: The Birthday Party
The presents are wrapped, the dinning hall is decorated, the kids are being distracted with a giant parachute game out side while the staff gets ready for this magical moment! We have our tunnel of joy and cheers constructed by some of the most talented, passionate people on the planet. We open the doors and EXTREME joy, awe and wonder is released as the kids make their way to what may be their very first birthday party EVER!! We wish we could show the look on the faces of the kids opening their presents, wearing their birthday crowns and overwhelmed with excitement! We welcome up the Birthdays by month. Each camper is called upon and heavily cheered as they receive their crown and birthday box. After all the months and campers have received their present, the dining hall erupts with the Happy Birthday song!

#3: Games/Activities for down time
There is always something for the kids to have fun with at RFKC. Here's some shots of the guys lounge are that sounds of ping pong ball chatter, fuse ball whirling and an upright piano being tickled with joy and melodies nonstop!

#4: The Face Paint Area
A location that gets frequent attention each day is the face paint. Lions, tigers and flowers...oh my!
The kids love looking through the face paint example/how-to book and chalkin' up their face and especially their buddy's!
#5: The Have a Go Show
Another magical moment of the night! Music Lady Jenn and Music Man Nate, MC the event that showcases all of the talent only found here up at RFKC. One memorable quote from the night was right at the start when Music Lady Jenn asked, "Hey, what is a great way to open up every special event with?" A camper raises his hand out of the audience and says, "Cheetos!" (We were looking for the National Anthem haha) Thus begins the Have A Go Show 2015! We saw Dancing, Drawing, a Let It Go performance, a Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle defeating balloon foes, Yoyo tricks, magic tricks, Let It Go again, Juggling Acts, Piano, ukelele, percussion solos, a speech/testimony from one of the campers... too much talent in the room and thats not even half of them! The show was a success and the paparazzi was relentless!
