What do children at Rising Eagle Day Camp think about camp so far? ☀️💛

“If I wasn’t at camp, I would be sitting at home.” — Jake*

“My favorite thing is playing outside!” — Isabel

“My favorites were the tater tot casserole and the grapes.” — Annie

“There was this game where we had to throw eggs to our partners. Mine landed in my hands and broke!” — Joshua

These simple moments of fun, friendship and laughter are what make Rising Eagle Day Camp so special for Lakota children each summer.

There are only a few hours left before our MIDNIGHT DEADLINE, and your support can help even more children experience a summer filled with joy and memories they will never forget. While it costs $180 to send one child to camp, a gift of just $35 today can make a meaningful difference when we all come together.

Will you help? ❤️

Things got even more fun at Rising Eagle Day Camp because water day was the main activity! 💦☀️ From splashing and laughing to cooling off under the summer sun, our campers made memories they won’t forget. We sure love seeing these smiles and the joy our campers bring to campus each day! 😁

South Dakota heat is starting to show up! ☀️ As temperatures rise, don’t forget to stay hydrated, especially during outdoor activities, travel and summer fun. 🏖️

This week's Lakota Word Wednesday phrase is ... Mní blatké — I drank water.

Every summer, our Alumni Relations Team hits the road with the Bookmobile, bringing books and connection to communities across South Dakota. After 50 years at St. Joseph’s Indian School, Andy still loves meeting alumni, hearing their stories and offering support whenever he can. Take a moment to listen to his story. 👇

Life moves fast, but every once in a while we all need to slow down, take a deep breath and stop to smell the flowers. 🌸
