As part of our summer wrap up, a huge thank you to the Partnership to Reduce Cancer in Rhode Island for the opportunity to win Sunscreen Treasure Chests through their raffle! We were so excited to be one of the lucky camps selected to share these fun sun-safety goodies with our campers.

A special thank you to Megan for helping make this opportunity possible for our campers! We loved making sun safety fun for our campers, and the bucket hats were definitely a BIG hit! 😎🔆
