We have concluded our first ever Virtual CRS, and our campers are excited to tell you all about it! Our Virtual CRS blog project group worked hard on putting together a daily recap, favorite VCRS memories from all campers, and topical articles for you all to learn from. If you’ve been curious what Virtual CRS looked like, now’s your chance to learn all about it!
I am drawn back to our core value “to develop in promising young people from diverse backgrounds a lifelong commitment to sensitive and responsible leadership for the betterment of their communities and the world.” So I am reaching out to you today both as a single alum and as the leader of LAJF to invite you to discuss what does “lifelong commitment” look like in light of what is happening?
As he will remind you if you speak about the age of Camp Rising Sun, Rick Richter is the same age as Camp. As we are celebrating our 90th Anniversary this year, Rick Richter celebrates his 90th birthday. Rick has asked anyone who wishes to celebrate his 90th birthday by supporting CRS with a donation. To find Rick’s campaign, go to our website here.
