“June is busting out all over,” which brings us to the official end of the RE year. Of course the fun is just beginning as we get the summer rolling. Check your calendars and look forward to these great RE summer events!

The summer season begins on June 17th with “Tie Dying Fun” led by Paul Dulaney. Just for starters we’ll hike at the San Miguel River Park near Lake Hodges, spend a day in the science lab, and have a rock climbing adventure. There’s bound to be a watermelon, water balloon- packed picnic in store, as well. Check the weekly announcements or your email for the most up-to-date information on these and other events. Got any ideas you want to share? Don’t hesitate to let me know.

In addition to all this fun, a team of volunteers will be working to complete modifications to the yurt deck with the goal of improving access to the yurts for all of our members. A platform will be added, both increasing the deck area between the yurts and raising the deck to eliminate the step up into each yurt from the platform. In the future a ramp will be added along with handrails to allow easy access for wheelchairs and those with difficulty climbing steps.

Nineteen spaces remain available for the elementary and middle school camps, and 26 spaces remain for Sr. High Camp.
