We are beyond excited to welcome back two familiar faces from our camp counselor crew for another amazing summer!
Croix, AKA Maverick, is returning for his 5th year at camp and his second year in the role of assistant director! When he's not at camp, he enjoys ice climbing and exploring the outdoors. His favorite part of camp is meeting all kinds of kids and counselors, new and returning, and one of his favorite camp memories is throwing water balloons off the roof during Water Week. Croix will be a sophomore next fall at UW Eau Claire.
Maiah, AKA Cap, is back for her 4th year at camp! She is a triple major in History, Philosophy, and Political Science at Bethel University — and is taking the LSAT this week, so wish her luck! She loves dancing in the pool during Camper's Choice and convincing the campers to sing and dance along. Her favorite camp memory is choosing counselors for kids to pie and sharing lots of laughs with kids and staff.
We're so grateful to have Maverick and Cap back. Their role is integral to our camp programs running smoothly all summer long and being tons of fun for everyone involved. Be sure to say hi when you see them around camp and around the Y this summer!

Even though the Group Exercise Studio is closed, our Rock Steady Boxers are still getting together. Last Thursday, instead of working out, our 2 classes came together for lunch and community.

Rock Steady Boxing isn't just about fighting back against Parkinson's Disease physically; it is also about being together and supporting each other through the ups and downs. "WE ARE ROCK STEADY!"
