RIVER RAIDER

BRMS has been awarded 3 full camper scholarships for "The Summer Camp" in Bridgton, Maine for girls from low-income families and foster homes to attend their Session 4 (July 24th - August 2nd). This is an amazing and fun overnight recreational camp where campers can sample new recreational activities, learn and improve skills, and stretch beyond their comfort zones to continue to build self esteem and empower girls with feelings of acceptance and understanding. Please feel free to reach out to Gregory Martin for more information. *If you have an older potential camper (ages 13/14) please reach out to Jenn Wisniowski to inquire about their 13 day hiking and canoeing program.
