It was a beautiful day in the mountains. The sun made it appearance in late morning. Hikes, swimming, horseback riding, arts, and fishing-it was a very busy day for everyone.
Around the World! This is the merging of the travel channel and the food network. Each cabin spent the afternoon setting up their country. RMV toured the world tasting a speciality from each area. We visited Amish Country, greeted by three of the locals and their lady. The kraut was served with bratwurst. We moved to Italy to try the pasta. The Midwest served salads and our host was a scarecrow. A brief stop in China for an egg roll and fortune. Hay bales, horses and barbecue-we must be in Texas! Lovely French lady greeted the campers with eclairs. Wow, a trip around the world and a taste in each country.
The campers are headed off to get ready for the big dance tonight. All day there have been whispers of dates for the dance.

The morning trek to breakfast was lead by Sunshine Lodge. The raising of the flag and morning singing welcomed a new day at RMV! Frontier led us in the morning ceremony.
The stable was very busy today as many campers wanted to spend some time riding Trinket. Trinket was a true lady as she gave each camper a pleasant ride. Donna, head of the riding program, beamed as she shared her love of horses with each rider. Donna's passion is "to help anyone who wants to rid a horse have the chance to do so here at RMV". The morning rides ended with smiles, laughter and pats to Trinket.
The fishing was busy but there were few catches. The General ( huge fish) was spotted but once again he outsmarted all the fishermen and women!
The art and crafts area was also busy with many kinds of painting, sculpting and yarn work.
The "Henhouse" ladies had a game of bocce ball down at the barn. A little competition and a round of chocolate milk was shared by all.
There were special guests for lunch today. Representatives from Boise Cascade and Trex were presented with artwork made at RMV in appreciation for their dedication to RMV. The time, materials and talents they share help to make RMV a cool place for all the campers.
Pizza night was a great hit. The campers enjoy their pizza party in different locations here at camp. Dining locations were: the pond, various decks, the pool, stage and pavilion.
The night was finished by the campers watching a movie together. Mama Mia was the movie of choice tonight. Then it is off the the cabins to catch up on some rest for tomorrows camp theme Food Tour.
There are some pictures on the site tonight, many more to come tomorrow!

Rock N' Roll USA
Tuesday brought sun and smiles to RMV as campers and staff enjoyed a beautiful day themed "Rock N' Roll USA". Clear skies allowed for a full venue of activities such as swimming, zip-lining, hay rides and horseback riding, all of which remained open all day long. Some cabins visited other stations such as music and drama, art, sports and fishing as well. The sports program featured tennis and saw several campers whilst others sought the shade and serenity of the fishing pond in the late afternoon. Following dinner, an all-camp was organized around the days theme (Rock N' Roll USA) that featured camp staff as music icons. Campers toured RMV while gathering autographs and being entertained by staff look-a-likes featuring Michael Jackson, ELVIS, Jason Mraz, Bob Marley, Zac Effron, Cher, Billy Joel, Madonna and finally Johnny and June Cash. In order to obtain autographs, campers were asked to complete tasks that involved singing or imitating signature dance moves. "Michael Jackson" stole the stage as a host of campers sought to learn the "Moon Walk" at the closing station. Many campers opted to campout tonight and had their dinner and desert over a camp fire hosted by outdoor living skills. Some pictures from todays all camp are posted below, more pictures will be added Wednesday
