RA CAMPS
Andrew White
I was born and raised in Reston and Day Camp – it was a big part of my life growing up. I started spending my summers at Camp in the early 80s and have fond memories of both the Round House and Brown’s Chapel as I rose from Group A to being too old to continue to attend. I returned a few years later as part of the Day Camp staff, 1991 to 1995, making great friends and feeling like I had a small part in nurturing another generation of amazing Reston kids. After leaving camp, I graduated from UVA in 1997 with an Environmental Science Degree, went on to work in the music industry in Charlottesville for a number of years, and then returned to the area in 2006. Since then I cofounded an environmental design, development and marketing company called Azure Worldwide, have worked with UVA, where I’m an OpenGrounds Fellow, and am currently CEO of the USA Pavilion at this summer’s World Expo in Korea. I find many of the lessons I learned at camp are now core to how I conduct business and my relationships. Thirty years since I started at camp I have two boys of my own, who are two and six. The oldest had a wonderful time last summer at his first Reston Camp experience, Walker’s Rangers. And for those who shared the good times with my brother and I at camp, they’ll have fond memories of our friend and colleague, a true Day Camper, who inspired us to name our oldest son Caleb.

All About Reston
Amazing Animals
Session 1: June 25- July 6 (No camp July 4)
Session 3: July 23-Aug. 3
Air, water, earth and fire. These are very important parts of our world. Let’s discover the treasures of each. Enjoy water games, sand art, making a flying craft and exploring the woods – just a few of the things we will do. What can we do to help keep Reston beautiful? Discover and learn to protect the wildlife of Reston. Have s’mores over an open flame at our cookout.
How many animals are there? Search distant deserts, untamed savannas, rasping rainforests, high mountain peaks and your own backyard to discover what animals live there. Can animals change colors, detect danger, predict weather or speak? We’ll make animal masks and fun finger puppets. Join us as we find out how truly amazing animals can be!
Captain Chris and His Lil’ Pirates
Olympics Under the Trees
Session 2: July 9-20
Session 4: Aug. 6-17
Ahoy lads and lasses! Let’s set out on our quest to the four winds of Reston. Look for treasures in the woods and along our lakes and streams. Set sail in our skiff on the waves of Lake Anne. Make some cool pirate art and enjoy a pirate meal! Ye better not be hangin’ the jib —we’re going to have a blast!
As the eyes of the world turn toward London, our attention is diverted to our own Hug-a-Tree Olympic Festival. Campers will receive tickets to daily games which emphasize team-building. How about a boating derby, a walk-a-thon where compasses are used to find the trail, and synchronized swimming to music? Each group will create a flag for our Olympic Festival, where there will undoubtedly be a few marshmallows roasted over our charcoal Olympic torch. Don't let the games begin without you.
