I loved RRR from the second I
saw it. The smell of the cedar trees sure was heaven compared
to the pollution of Dallas. I only got to stay for two weeks
that first summer, which was way too short a time. I rode
the horses, shot up targets, and made stuff in the crafts
hut. I know I made it down to the river a few times. It was
the year that I got my red tie in the horseback department
and I was sooooo proud! I got to stand in front of the campfire
while the campers all went berserk over my accomplishment.
I feel so lucky to have the memories that I do and those are
of RRR. I don't remember much about my childhood, but I remember
everything about RRR and how much I loved going there every
summer. It was heaven on earth. Libby Walker Dunagan

Picture a Spot … My years at Rocky River mean more
to me than can be written down in a little note. There's probably
not a day that goes by that I don't think about an experience,
a laugh, a friendship, a struggle, a success, etc. that I
experienced at camp. I love that I can go back and find the
same "safe haven" that I experienced as a 7-year-old
girl in Circle B through several years as a Counselor! Driving
across that cattle guard at the front gate, my heart beat
calms to a familiar and comforting beat again, like nothing
else I've experienced. Erin Davis Terjesen
