These are optional, fun dress up days the Wednesday of each session. We encourage everyone to be creative and silly with your outfits, but please don't feel the need to buy lots of items. Hopefully you already have some fun things around the house she can use. We want these days to be fun and not stressful!

Day Camp Sessions 1 & 2

Wacky Wednesday: deck out in all things wacky! Try a wacky hair style, or wacky socks, or wacky clothes, or wear your bathing suit on the outside of your clothes - get creative, the wackier the better!

Day Camp Sessions 3 & 4

Disney Day: dress as your favorite Disney character! Maybe it’s a princess? Maybe it’s an animal? A hero or a sidekick? Anything Disney goes!!!

Wow! I just spent ten amazing weeks at Rocky River. It was a great learning experience. My first job also! I had a wonderful time working with the counselors and the kids. I already miss it! I miss singing camp songs too!

I would not be the person I have become today if it were not for Skeet and Sandy. One of the biggest lessons I ever learned in life was from Sandy — I fell off a horse and Sandy made me get right back on. I had no idea what impact that lesson would mean to my life, but I have to say it has become one of the most valuable.

Rocky River Ranch is like my second home. It is such a comfortable, fun place to be! I am planning to be here as long as possible, and want my future daughters and granddaughters to experience this camp. Rocky River has a special place in my heart, and is a big part of my life.

‒ Molly Morgan Years at camp: 2001-2005

Another favorite camp memory that lives on is the camp songs. I have sung them to my kids when they were babies … and still sing to them to wake them up in the morning ("Good morning to You!"). Last summer my daughter went to camp for the first time (at age 6). She had a great time and is looking forward to going again this summer. She sings camp songs almost daily (I'm ready for her to learn a few new ones other than "Boom Boom, Ain't it Great to be Crazy?" and "I Wish I Were a Little Bar of Soap")!

RRR gives young women the chance to excel in areas where they may not have ever had a chance to before … and an opportunity to gain self esteem and confidence. These are such amazing and important gifts that will stay with campers their entire lives. This is why RRR will forever be a "home" to its campers. A place where they feel accepted, and loved and special.

‒ Margaret "Meg" Beecher Lowery Years at camp: '89-2000, 2005

I think camp was very beneficial for my daughter last year. She came home with new experiences that she will never forget. It's something that she is able to share with her friends and schoolmates too. It made a huge impact on her and I hope by going again this year that she continues to grow and mature as a thoughtful young lady.
