Virtual CRS 2021 - Camp in Review
2021… what a year! In spite of the restrictions caused by the COVID-19 pandemic, a lot has still happened, with one of the most notable events being the Online CRS program of 2021! This camp year has been a blast, with a lot of fun being made out of a difficult situation. The program went 11 days with both staff, and camper-led activities, with returning “second years” displaying their leadership skills by leading large portions of camp!
The camp started out with two days of introduction and rundown helping everyone to ease into camp. Despite the short time spent with one another, a distinct community began to form among everyone in attendance by day one, and that bond only grew over the course of CRS.
Making Camp Rising Sun More Linguistically Accessible - Part II
Meet the Virtual CRS Second Year Campers!
As Camp Rising Sun alums, we were selected to return as second year campers to take additional leadership at Camp. We will be responsible for leading, or helping first year campers lead, discussions, instructions, and projects. We will also cooperate with program facilitators to create a great camp experience for the first-year campers. We want to step up as Camp Rising Sun’s role models, and will guide the first-year campers through camp while also participating in the program alongside them.
