Happy 19th birthday to us! 🥳 Today we’re celebrating 19 YEARS of Roundup River Ranch, and what a journey it has been! ❤️ Take a look back through time with photos from each year since July 2, 2006. 📆

Today, we are reminded of the extraordinary kindness, generosity, and dedication of numerous supporters, partners, sponsors, foundations, staff, board, caregivers, and volunteers, who have ALL helped make our camp community thrive over the past 19 years! Our theme this year, “You Belong Here”, rings true as we think about each and every one of you.

Thank you for supporting children with life-altering diagnoses and creating unforgettable memories. As we reflect on the last 19 years, we are deeply grateful to everyone who is a part of our Roundup River Ranch community. 🫶

We want to send a HUGE thank you to our partners, Abercrombie & Fitch! 👏❤️ Not only do they provide our camp t-shirts for free every year, they also support camp in many other ways. One of those ways is offering volunteer time for their employees to volunteer at SeriousFun Children`s Network camps!

This year we had a few incredible A&F employees volunteer for session 1, including Lauren! She is an associate merchant on the Abercrombie adult brand, and was connected with Roundup River Ranch through their partnership with SeriousFun. This was her first year volunteering at camp. Two things inspired her to volunteer. 🫶

“One, obviously, the partnership my company has with SeriousFun and hearing all of the associates that had such a life changing experience. But two, my sister Ashley, she has severe hearing loss and we found out about it probably when she was at the end of elementary school. And it’s been something that, you know, we’ve all lived through as a family. And I think just growing up with someone who faced a silent disability, it was really an eye-opening experience.”

Lauren described her volunteer experience at Roundup River Ranch this week as “life-changing.”

“It truly was such a magical, magical experience being here from the full-time staff to the seasonal staff to all the campers. Everyone comes with such excitement and joy, and I think it is such a good opportunity just to step away from the things that seem super significant in life and just spend time here. You really get re-grounded in it really is just the little things that matter, and some of the things that feel really big really aren’t as big as you think. So it was a phenomenal experience.” 💕

Magical Mayhem Week! 💜 Defy gravity! Embrace all things magical this week and learn the true meaning of “Camp Magic.” 🪄 During this session, campers entered an enchanting world of sorcery.

Activities throughout the week included collecting magical gems on the Challenge Course, designing witch and wizard hats, a game of Capture the Flag where campers gathered magical potions, and more!! 🔮 It was a week of creative exploration, joyful giggles,
and heartwarming friendships. ✨
