Rock the Vote: Sami Camp Name Proposal

Here at Camp Reach for the Sky, us counselors are given nicknames that we go by at camp. These nicknames could relate to a favorite hobby or activity, or just be a childhood alias that has stuck. Regardless of the nickname, it makes things more fun. We don't want our camp roster looking like a baby-naming book with regular name after regular name. Instead, our lineup is full of names like Yoda, Pinky, Bubbles, and Elf. The story behind each nickname is unique, and each name is permanent. Once a name is chosen, the name stays with the counselor for their entire Camp Reach for the Sky career. The campers learn the names and it would create a situation more confusing than Inception if counselors were changing their nicknames anytime they want. But once every hundred years or so, a situation comes along that warrants further examination and possible bending of the rules…and this is such a scenario.

A huge congratulations to Christopher HULK Ramirez for being awarded the American Cancer Society's Patient Courage Award for 2010. Throughout the years Chris has been involved with the American Cancer Society through Camp Reach for the Sky, the Southern California Courageous Kids Day, Relay For Life, Cancer Prevention Study 3 and Making Strides Against Breast Cancer. Chris is also very involved with S.O.M.B.F.A.B and the annual Celebration of Champions through Rady Children's Hospital. AND, Chris is involved with the Leukemia Lymphoma Society's Camp Agape. Needless to say, Chris holds a very special place in his heart for the pediatric cancer population. HULK's passion for camp is intoxicating, from the very first day the campers step off the bus to the day when we say goodbye and look forward to the next year. From Nacho Libre to Dog the Bounty Hunter, HULK gets everyone going!!! Chris is NOW a two time cancer survivor! We've got nothing but love fo

STREET-MURAL Throwback Thursday!

How amazing was this? Special shout out to Mount Miguel High School Art Teacher Paula Annicchiarico and her students for coming up to Resident Oncology Camp in 2016. Seany's Camp Reach for the Sky campers spent the whole day working on the inspirational street-murals with students from Mount Miguel High School. Right alongside our campers, Ms. Paula and her students were on their knees for hours working on these amazing murals. The activity was so cool, the campers didn't notice they were working in 100+ degree blacktop weather! On behalf of the hundreds of campers and volunteers at Seany's CR4TS, we thank you for bringing such an amazing activity to our camp. We truly hope that this becomes a regular activity that we can provide our campers each and every summer. ________________________________________________________________ Former camper and current Junior Council president Amanda Hall gives you the details on Seany's Junior Council.
