We’re SO excited to welcome the wonderful Dr. Adel Younoszai to our Board of Directors! 🥳

Dr. Adel is a pediatric cardiologist with over 30 years of experience. He is currently a professor at the Department of Pediatrics at the University of Colorado School of Medicine and Director of Cardiac Imaging at Children’s Hospital Colorado. He joins the Board with a wealth of knowledge, taking from his leadership experience at universities, hospitals, and summer camps!

A Hawkeye at heart, he grew up in Iowa City and attended the University of Iowa for undergrad and medical school. He found his love for summer camp at a YMCA program in Iowa and later at Camp Holiday Trails in Virginia. Dr. Adel started his career as a fierce advocate for medically supported programs, and he believes they are a key opportunity for kids with life-altering diagnoses to develop confidence and leadership skills. Since Roundup River Ranch opened in 2011, he’s volunteered as a physician at every cardiology summer session and most Family Camps!

“I get much more from my experiences at RRR than I give, it has made me a better physician and person.” 🫶

We are extremely grateful to Dr. Adel for his years of support, and we are thrilled to welcome him onto our Board of Directors! 🎉
We want to take a moment to share our deep gratitude for your kind words and support over the past week and a half. ❤ We are especially THANKFUL for the firefighters and emergency personnel who continue working tirelessly to keep our communities safe from the Derby Fire.

As of yesterday, crews have built 11 miles of control lines, and containment continues to improve, with significant progress expected in the coming days as teams work diligently to strengthen and widen those lines. With cooler weather and precipitation in the forecast this week, conditions remain favorable. We are in direct contact with Eagle County’s Emergency Management team, and our campsite currently remains in the lowest risk category designated by the county. The safety of our community remains our top priority, and we will provide updates should conditions change.

We are so appreciative of the dedication of everyone - from firefighters and emergency crews to community members - who have come together during this time.

We’re excited for an incredible fall season filled with more Outreach Programs and our upcoming Family Camps!
