Another amazing day at BOLD Summer Camp! 🌿☀️
Today's adventures were packed with fun from start to finish! Campers played exciting games, got creative with crafts, and explored the outdoors in search of frogs—catching only 2 , checking them out, and safely releasing them back into their habitat. 🐸
To top off the day, everyone enjoyed s’mores made over the fire by Cricket. 🔥🍫 There were plenty of smiles, laughter, and muddy shoes—just the way a great summer camp day should be!
We can't wait to see what adventures tomorrow has in store! 💚

What an incredible day at BOLD Summer Camp! ☀️💙

Today we had the pleasure of welcoming Mayor Nancy Dodds, who stopped by to see our campers in action and experience everything that makes BOLD Summer Camp so special. Thank you for taking the time to visit and for your kind words of encouragement!

After hearing about camp from Mayor Dodds, Pat Vos also stopped in for a visit. We truly appreciate you taking the time to come see firsthand what BOLD is all about.

Our campers also enjoyed an amazing yoga session with Aim for Success, giving everyone a chance to stretch, relax, laugh, and enjoy the beautiful day together.

A very special THANK YOU goes out to Drayton Valley Community Foundation (DVCF) for being one of our incredible camp sponsors. Because of generous community partners like DVCF, we’re able to create meaningful experiences, lasting memories, and opportunities for local children all summer long. Your support truly makes a difference, and we are so grateful to have you as part of the BOLD family. 💙

Days like today remind us just how fortunate we are to be surrounded by a community that believes in our kids. From our sponsors and community leaders to our volunteers and supporters—thank you for helping make BOLD Summer Camp such a special place! ☀️🏕️💙
