Attended six workshops and focused on making new friends. Students were grouped into areas of interest  (service, entertainment, etc). There were 211 campers. The students shared that this was so amazing and everyday it only got better. One student shared that she felt you go and are accepted who you are. You can walk up to anyone at the camp and talk to anyone and they will be friendly. The students were asked what they will bring back to SLV—“Love and Support.” Harrison shared that he found some of the kids with the worse life experiences were the happiest people in the camp. They are face timing and email
 
Charlie won $92 in the raffle. He added $8 to the amount and donated it back to the RYLA fund for 2016. Thank you, Charlie!!
