Camp Rocky 2024

A group of four people, including three adults and one child, are seated in an off-road utility vehicle parked on grass. A uniformed officer, sitting in the front passenger seat, is smiling and waving. The scene is outdoors with palm trees and a building visible in the background under a bright blue sky.

A group of young children wearing matching light blue shirts is gathered in an art gallery, attentively listening to a woman in a beige outfit who is leading the tour. The wall behind her displays various framed illustrations and a sign that partially reads, 'Hands Humans.' The space is well-lit with a clean, modern design.

Two young children wearing life jackets are seated on a boat under a clear blue sky. The child in the foreground has long hair and colorful clothing, resting their arm on the back of the seat, while the child in the background is looking down, possibly at something in their hands. The boat is moving on calm water, with a distant shoreline visible in the background.
