Volunteering in the Community

It was great to see some Diamond Ridge and Sesame/Rockwood campers and staff yesterday volunteering their time at the JRA Food Distribution. Everyone helped pack and deliver over 800 boxes of food that went to needy families throughout the Delaware Valley. If you are doing something special in your community, let us know by posting it on this Fan Page or send us an email at campernews@diamondridgecamps.com.

Rock Ridge Cup Games

Thursday was start of the 2009 Rock Ridge Cup Games with competitions in Co-ed Soccer and Boys Softball. The Rock Ridge Cup Games are a best-of-five series against our sister camp, Sesame/Rockwood in Blue Bell. Camp Rockwood was victorious in Co-ed Soccer with a 4-0 shutout. Seth Silverman (LIT B) played great in goal making an unbelievable save on a Camp Rockwood penalty kick. Michael Lehrich (LIT B) and Collin Ochs (Freshman A) both had great scoring opportunities.

It was a dramatic ending in Boys Softball. Diamond Ridge trailed 5-2 going into the bottom of the 6th inning for their last at bats. With the bases loaded, Ronnie Laub (LIT B) delivered a clutch three run triple to tie the score, 5-5. Camp Rockwood then intentionally loaded the bases with no outs. That brought Martin Kempisky (Senior A) to the plate, who singled up the middle for the game winning RBI as Diamond Ridge won 6 - 5. Matt Simkus (Grad A) was the winning pitcher. The Rock Ridge Cup Games will conclude on July 29th with events in Co-ed Swimming, Girls Newcomb and Boys Basketball.
