Second Session Opening Day: With Every Rainstorm Comes a Rainbow
When staff, campers, and families picture Opening Day at a summer camp, they picture bright, sunny fields, roofball games interrupted by box trucks, the opening ceremony in our Outdoor Sanctuary, and a whole lot of balloons. Last session, we had an opening day just like that one, and we have the video to prove it. But Mother Nature had a different plan in mind for Second Session.
