Francisco's CRS Story

When you hear people talk about their Camp Rising Sun experiences, the two things that come up  most often are “transformative and “life changing” – and I am no different. . At Camp, I felt that I truly understood what “common humanity” meant for the first time.. Without question, I learned that, beneath the surface of culture and experience, we are all more similar than we are different. For all of our campers, this deliberate lesson engenders respect for others and encourages us to be open to what we may learn from one another. Take a look at what’s going on in the world today. It’s obvious that mutual respect and understanding are in short supply.
