We have partnered with JCC Rainbow Day camp to offer a day filled with new experiences to bring teen sibs together. We will spend time getting to know other teens and learning what makes a great leader. We will put those leadership skills to the test when we go through a mud run obstacle course (no worries if you aren’t super athletic, this course is for everyone). We will also get a chance to participate in archery, climb a rock wall and more. We’ll enjoy a simple picnic lunch, then cook out over a fire and enjoy some s’mores for dinner.
Location: JCC Rainbow Day Camp (W3985 Trails End Road Fredonia, WI 53021) Bus transportation from Appleton and Madison will be provided.
