Reminiscing on Summer Camp

Summer Camp at the FRC wrapped up on August 18, and what a great time our campers had!

Throughout the summer, attendees participated in activities such as reading, arts and crafts, sports, and science experiments.

Thanks to all the staff members, parents, and students who made summer camp one to remember!
