LYNDONVILLE —Camp Rainbow wrapped up a five-week summer season on Aug. 8, capping off a fun-filled experience for nearly 70 children from Genesee and Orleans counties.

With the hot weather, campers stayed cool in the pool and enjoyed new activities. IGNITE, an Arc GLOW college experience program in partnership with Genesee County Community College, joined camp every Friday to offer special activities. Another new addition this year was the installation of outdoor musical equipment, made possible by The Children’s Guild Foundation.

Transportation was also an important support for families in both Genesee and Orleans counties, 53 children utilizing the service to attend camp. The New Car Dealers of WNY Charitable Foundation generously funded transportation for Orleans County riders, while an anonymous donor sponsored travel for children from Genesee County.

Arc GLOW is incredibly grateful to the sponsors and grantors whose generosity made this year’s camp possible for so many children and families. A heartfelt thank you to:
