RDC’s Summer Camp Registration Is Underway!
Christmas is just around the corner and unique gifts are always hard to find. This year, you can give the gift of learning, as RDC’s 2017 summer camps are now open for registration.
With over 1,200 youth taking part in a variety of summer camps at RDC this past summer, there is something for everyone. An enthusiastic ambassador from her camp experience is Katherine Griffith.
Katherine first started attending MusiCamp when she was 12 years old; that was six years ago, and it has been the highlight of every summer since then. “Going in, I didn’t know anyone, but by the second day I had a big group of friends and was playing music I had never dreamed of.”
MusiCamp Alberta is just one of many summer camps offered at RDC, and it is the only provincial music workshop. The faculty is comprised of world-class performers and teachers from professional ensembles, who work to cultivate artistry, discipline and an appreciation of music. “The music was amazing, and the teachers taught me more in one week than I learned in a month at school,” says Katherine.
As for the accommodation, “I got to live in a college dorm room for a week, which was pretty much the coolest thing ever,” she says. Students who participate in overnight camps live in residence facilities on RDC’s main campus, which consist of apartment-style housing.
RDC day and overnight camps are available for a wide variety of interests including sport, science, visual art, film, game design, trades, music, dance, cooking and animation. “It was an absolutely amazing time,” says Katherine, “and I made some of the best friends that I have ever had while I was there.”

The coveted Sorento Dream Home Prize Package, which includes furnishings and accessories by Urban Barn and boasts a total value of $1,072,624.00, has been awarded to Maxine Rumohr of Sylvan Lake.
The highly anticipated draw took place at 10:00 a.m. Thursday at the Red Deer Regional Health Foundation office, located within the Red Deer Regional Hospital Centre, with an announcement following live on Facebook, allowing participants and supporters to join in the excitement virtually.
“We are delighted to congratulate the winners of this year’s Red Deer Hospital Lottery,” said Manon Therriault, Chief Executive Officer of the Red Deer Regional Health Foundation. “The funds raised from this lottery will significantly contribute to enhancing patient care and services at the Red Deer Regional Hospital Centre. We extend our heartfelt gratitude to everyone who participated and supported this important cause.”
Proceeds from the Red Deer Hospital Lottery and Mega Bucks 50 will contribute to acquiring critically needed, state-of-the-art equipment for several units at the Red Deer Hospital.
This year’s lottery will fund equipment such as a phototherapy system, which allows parents to hold and soothe their infant while undergoing phototherapy, a cardiology case cart to monitor cardiac rhythms during stress testing, and other equipment to help provide excellent care for patients in the emergency and operating rooms at the Red Deer Hospital.
The winners of a variety of electronics were also drawn today. A full list of winners will be available in the coming days on the official lottery website at reddeerhospitallottery.ca. Prize winners who have not already been notified will receive a letter in the mail with instructions on how to claim their prizes.
The keys to the Sorento Dream Home and the Tree Hugger Tiny Home will be presented to the winners at a special ceremony this summer.
Now, during this momentous chapter in our history, we invite you to join us for the Grand Opening of the Sheldon Kennedy Centre of Excellence.
