A Message from Mr. Bart
Good mornin’ Camp!
Waaayyyyy up in the sky, the little birds fly…
Got some rain last night, so the grass was a little wet at flag this morning. Thanks for mowing those lines for the tribes Mr. Jim, that sure helps. That and a good pair of rain boots, right Mrs. Shari? :-)
The word of the day came to me last night as Marcia and I were sadly pulling out of Dansville on route home. Too early to be going back home during the start of a camp week, but it is what it is… (thanks Mr. Mark).
Today’s word is GRATEFUL
I couldn’t have felt more grateful about how the staff brightened our campers’ day yesterday. Let’s just say, it really sucks (and hurts quite frankly) to not be able to give our kids a week of GVRC. However, the GVRC staff brought smiles and some camp love to our amazing campers, even in a summer without camp. Thank you (again) for all who were able to help with the goodie bag project. Some helped in person, some with funds, some with positive thoughts and well-wishes. It all counts. I am grateful to the best staff around. So grateful.
π This Giving Tuesday, Help Us Empower Extraordinary Campers π
At GVRC, we believe every child deserves the joy of adventure, the warmth of friendship, and the chance to shine. Our camp is a safe and magical place where children with disabilities can explore their potential, build lifelong memories, and feel celebrated for who they are. π
This Giving Tuesday, you have the chance to make an extraordinary impact. Your support helps us provide:
β¨ Adaptive activities that inspire confidence and creativity
β¨ An inclusive environment where every camper feels they belong
β¨ Specialized equipment and programs to meet every childβs needs
Your generosity opens doors to experiences these kids will cherish foreverβwhether itβs the thrill of conquering swimming in the pool, the joy of a campfire sing-along, or the quiet pride in discovering their own strength.
π Give the gift of joy and inclusion today. π
Visit gvrc.org to donate and be part of creating unforgettable moments for our incredible campers.
Together, we can make the world a little brighter for children who light up our lives. π

So, be grateful today. Be grateful for something you have, not what you don’t. Be grateful that you are a part of a wonderful family, the GVRC family. That connection, the memories of past camp years, and looking forward to 2021, will hopefully make you feel grateful today.
Have a GRATEFUL day GVRC!
Cammmmmmpppp… Disssss-misssssed!
