WELCOME TO CAMP RAVEN 2016
The cues for summer are numerous and noticeable; it is a month before the solstice, days are
longer, nights are shorter. The annual emerging cicadas scream to each other at dusk while
Major League Baseball is in full swing. Another more familiar signal that summer is here
includes the urgent planning of the next three months. One option is Riverfield Country
Day School’s Camp Raven.
Camp Raven is nestled on 120 acres west of the river just north of Tulsa Hills. All of us agree
that a positive camp experience can be life-changing. Without a doubt we are ready to make wonderful memories this summer. Our mission is to provide an excellent summer experience in a family-oriented atmosphere.
We seek to motivate and encourage campers to explore, learn and have fun. Our experienced camp staff utilizes
our beautiful campus filled with trees, animals, and activities.
I am very excited about all the events and camps this summer. Check out our calendar for family friendly events
all summer long. Don’t hesitate to join us!
Sincerely,
Ric Breig
Summer Director
