What an incredible day we had at camp on Saturday with a team of RBC volunteers!

A huge thank you to Ryan Smith from RBC for helping coordinate this volunteer opportunity and connecting us with such an enthusiastic group of volunteers. We are so grateful to everyone who joined us and rolled up their sleeves to help get camp ready for the summer season. From working on the dock, chopping and stacking wood, building and refreshing vegetable boxes, painting, and tackling a variety of cleaning projects, the team made a tremendous impact in just one day.

Their enthusiasm, hard work, and willingness to take on whatever was needed helped move us one step closer to welcoming campers for another amazing summer. Every project completed helps create a safe, welcoming, and memorable experience for the children and families we serve.

Days like today are a great reminder of what can happen when community partners come together to support a shared goal. We are incredibly grateful for the RBC team's time, energy, and commitment, and we can't wait to see campers enjoying the spaces they helped prepare.

Thank you, RBC and the RBC Foundation, for helping us get camp summer-ready! โ˜€๏ธ๐Ÿ•๏ธ๐Ÿ’™
