The AJ II A girls of the second half are presently enjoying the many things camp has to offer. They are currently participating in such activities as: waterskiing, swimming, and tennis.

Part of the Eagles and Falcon girls’ cabins combined to form a soccer team to travel to Camp Chateaugay for competition. The Camp Regis team ran into some stiff competition and lost 6-0.  When measuring who the true winners were however,  Regis dominated because they continuously played hard and never gave up. They demonstrated sportsmanship and pride.  They accepted defeat without making excuses. Some of the girls  were playing soccer...

These memories of camp life and camp friendships made within our special caring community mark a time and place in our lives which...
