I highly recommend following Hermann Sons Life on Facebook and YouTube. During the sum- mer, we’ll be posting unique content on these two platforms for our parents to enjoy. We have been feverishly working to make this summer the best it possibly can be for your kid- dos. We’re changing the program this year to provide our campers with more choices in their summer camp experience and help them better enjoy their adventure. Fishing, kayaking, along with the addition of golf at the Riverside site will provide more wonderful, fun memories. We’ve added more lawn games along with GaGa to give our campers a fun change of pace. Crafts has been enhanced this summer on Riv- erside. In addition to leathercraft, ceramics, lan- yards, beading and friendship bracelets, we’ve added tie dying and ceramic tile mosaics for more colorful and fun elective afternoon activi- ties. Our staffing looks fantastic and I’m excited. We have an incredible number of returning coun- selors (especially on Riverside). Our staff started arriving May Supplementing our wonderful returning staff this summer will be counselors from England, Australia, Scotland, Wales, Mexico, Germany, Co- lumbia, Mexico, Chile and Brazil. I have spoken to these wonderful young men and women, and they are very excited to be here and are looking forward to working with our campers and staff. It’s exciting that the campers and staff will get to hear about the different cultures from around the world, learn a few new games (cricket, rug- by, netball) and maybe pick up a new accent!
