| Woodworking Paint Tent |
It's amazing how much fun you can pack into one day. Camp offers a lot of activities that are sure to strike a chord with our campers. While in the Activity Center, they can choose to build toys from wood and give the a good coat of paint to give them a polished look, The paint isn't limited to just the wood products. Ceramics and faces are fair game for a coat of paint as well. Bead Centers, where things like gecko key rings are made, can
This looks like a good point to give an update on the Fishing Derby. What was an informal derby has become a formal derby now. The camp staff is working on creating fishing medals to be awarded for the biggest fish and most fish caught. The campers fish tally as of today is 100 plus. We're not sure how many the Osprey have caught since their last run at the fishing pond, but we're pretty sure it's more than the four we saw caught earlier in the week.
Our Crossing Guards Have Flair
Sometimes we need the help of our Crossing Guards to reach some of our events. We think it's a nice touch that this Crossing Guard has included one of the world's largest flowers as a part of the overall traffic management scheme.
When not at the Activity Center, campers can spend time at the waterfront. Today was a perfect day to go sailing and some of our campers did just that, There's definitely something peaceful about gliding along the water with just the wind to power the boat over the waves.

At RFK, we like to celebrate our campers' Birthdays with them regardless of when their Birthday really is. With that in mind, an afternoon is set aside to have a Birthday Party. Several Gifts are selected for each camper, placed in a single large box and wrapped in brightly colored paper. The campers' birth dates are called out for each camper as they collect their gift box and then the camp sings the "Happy Birthday" song to them to kick off the gift opening frenzy. This is one of the highlights of the camp for our campers.
Birthday Party - Presents Waiting to be Opened
Another highlight for the campers is our RFK's Got Talent show. This show gives the campers the opportunity to share their talents in a non-judgmental atmosphere. Some of the talents are pretty mainstream, such as singing, dancing, and puppet shows, while other can be more unconventional such as a tad pole touching demonstration. This year's participants had fun and had the experience of getting up in front of an audience and performing, which is good skill to have.
