Camp Rainbow 2015

We're excited to announce camp will be June 14 - 20, 2015. Our board of directors had a very productive fall retreat filled with exciting plans for 2015. We look forward to seeing all our old friends, and of course, look forward to meeting the new faces too!

Thank You

Thank-you doesn't begin to convey how thankful we are for the overwhelming support of the 4th annual Washers Tournament. Bill and Patty Anderson graciously put on this event every year in Ryan's memory and this year they raised $21,000 for Camp Rainbow. That more than doubles last year's tournament. This enables us to continue providing a fun, safe environment for those with disabilities. We're so excited for the programs and events this makes possible. Thank you to all who helped run the event, those who donated, and those who participated. Thank you for keeping Ryan's memory alive and living on in future years at Camp Rainbow.

Second Session

Our second session of campers were just as wonderful as the first! We had quite a few new campers this year and we really enjoyed spending time and getting to know them!

 Our campers and counselors both loved the new paddle boats!

 The department of conservation came out and helped the campers fish. This was the first time we've had them and it was a huge hit. The campers actually caught lots of fish and really enjoyed learning what types of fish they caught and are in the lake.

 Friday morning we had a visit from the Grundy County Sheriff. He talked with the campers about his job and answered their questions. Then all the campers got a chance to check out his truck and even hear the sirens.

 The cabins participated in the annual Special Olympics. They had a great time competing in all the relays!

 Of course, the highlight of the week was the dance Friday night. The girls had their nails and make-up done and put on their best dresses. They danced late into the night and had lots of fun!

It's always sad to see the campers go home. But we had so much fun making new friends and seeing old ones as well. We had a wonderful, action-packed week. We're already looking forward and planning for next year!

Staff Break

After the first session of campers leave, we give the staff a little break. Our staff are all volunteers and they do an amazing job! After the campers leave the staff takes time to rest and relax for a little while. Then we're lucky enough to have the Trenton Pool allow us to come after hours to swim. It's wonderful to get away from camp and have a little fun! Then in the evening we gather around the fire circle for a hot dog roast and smores! 

 

We want to thank the Trenton Aquatic Center for allowing us to come after hours. We also want to thank  Murphy-Brown LLC for donating the hot dogs. Thanks to their generous donations, we're able to give our volunteer staff a fun, relaxing day!

First Session

We had another amazing year at Camp Rainbow!! This year brought many new campers and volunteers along with new activities we've never tried before. We couldn't be happier with how the week went! Here's some pictures from our first session of campers.

 The campers really enjoyed the puppet show! They couldn't help but get up and dance to the music along with the puppets.

 The National Guard was kind enough to bring out a couple trucks for the campers to look at. Everyone loved seeing the big trucks work and of course, getting their pictures taken with the soldiers!

 The camp dance was the highlight of the week, as usual!

It always seems the days go too fast! We hate to say good-bye but look forward to next year!

Craft Director Needed

We're so excited about Camp Rainbow 2013! We're eagerly getting things in order and ready! We have so many new and fun activities! However, we are in need of a Craft Director. This position would head up and organize crafts for all of camp. They would prepare a plan with crafts that go with the theme, and would have several helpers to assist them with campers and the running of the craft cabin. If you are interested in the volunteer position please contact us at camp.rainbow.trenton@gmail.com.

AAARRRGGHHH!!

We're busy preparing for another wonderful year at Camp!! We wanted to let everyone know that the theme for this year is Pirates!! So get prepared to walk the plank this summer! We can't wait to see you all soon!

Camp Rainbow 2013 Dates

Even though it's chilly outside, we're already busy planning Camp Rainbow 2013! Mark your calendars for June 16-22! Make plans now to be a part of this amazing camp. You won't regret the experiences you have or the people you meet.
Please feel free to contact us with any questions. We'll post updates about the theme for this year and applications, so check back often. We look forward to seeing everyone again and meeting all the new volunteers and campers!

2nd Annual Washer Tournament

The 2nd Annual Washer Tournament in Memory of Ryan Anderson was a HUGE success! There was a motor cycle ride added to the event this year. We can not thank everyone enough for the huge so of support for Camp Rainbow. We are happy to announce that we raised $7,200 for Camp Rainbow. Funds from last year's event went to purchasing brand new life jackets for camp. The camp board will soon meet to vote on what the funds from this years tournament will fund.

Thank you again to all who helped make this such a great success!!

Session 2

Our second session of campers were just as great as the first! And our staff all did a fantastic job with the second group!

 Elvis is always a big hit!!

 

We want to thank everyone that volunteered this year at camp. We couldn't do it without all the people that are willing to give up a week of their time so these campers can enjoy a few days away! We also want to thank those local businesses that were willing to donate products and help make camp happen!

Session 1

We had a hot, but wonderful first session! We all stayed cool with water games and time at the lake! Here's a few pictures from all the fun we had with our first session of campers! 

We always enjoy when the department of conservation comes out and brings a few guests!

 Trying to stay cool!

 Of course, the dance is everyone's favorite night!!

 Anthony did a wonderful job dj-ing for us this year!!
