The week-long Summer Camp at The Rick Herrema Foundation (RHF) will have campers collaborate with their peers in games, arts, and outdoor skills. Each day of camp is packed with hands-on activities that will keep campers absorbed in fun and connected with nature. Camps will take place mainly outdoors to give campers exclusive access to engage the RHF property in new and exciting ways.
Camp is Monday – Friday, 9 am – 4 pm each day. Each week is the same curriculum, but the campers’ experience will be unique each week due to Camp Rick’s Place counselors and other campers.
Camp Rick’s Place is hosted on RHF property and is open to all of Fayetteville’s community, whether Military or not. Camp Rick’s Place is the sole exception where non-military persons are allowed attendance to events/programs on RHF property.
At Rick’s Place, we believe life happens when fun meets community. The camp counselors and activities at Camp Rick’s Place are focused on fostering the heart of your children to keep them curious about the world around them and immersed in a positive community. Our goal is to host a space where campers are excited to bring their interests, ideas, and experiences to exchange with their fellow campers.
In addition to fast-paced activities, Camp Rick’s Place offers arts and crafts throughout the week. Campers will work with materials like paints, clay, and crayons to make personalized masterpieces to take home each week.
For 2023 Camp Rick’s Place, campers will receive a limited edition RHF water bottle with the price of their tuition. This water bottle will be theirs to keep and use throughout the week of camp.
