Get Vaccinated!
Missed the mpox vaccine clinic on June 27? Then, good news: CAMP Rehoboth is offering mpox vaccinations again Tuesday, July 25, and on Tuesday, August 22. Registration is requested at camprehoboth.com.
CDC issued a summer advisory about mpox, noting that outbreaks could increase as people gather for festivals and other events with high potential for skin-to-skin contact or increased sexual activity.
Common early onset symptoms for mpox may resemble that of the common cold or of the coronavirus. These can include fever, chills, swollen lymph nodes, headaches and backaches, exhaustion, or respiratory symptoms like sore throat, nasal congestion, or cough.
CAMP Rehoboth encourages all to be safe and to take advantage of this free community resource. Plus, each individual vaccinated will receive their choice of a CAMP Rehoboth custom-made hat, CAMP sling bags, $10 gift cards to Lori’s Oy Vey Café (located in CAMP Rehoboth Courtyard), or a $10 appetizer at Aqua. ▼
Tai Chi Returns to CAMP Rehoboth
Starting August 15, CAMP Rehoboth will offer Beat-the-Meter Tai Chi with Master Trainer Marianne Walch, PhD, the Co-Director of the Silver Lotus Training Institute. To register, email tara@camprehoboth.com.
Tai Chi is a mind-body practice designed to cultivate life force energy, or “Qi.” Consisting of fluid, gentle movements that are relaxed and slow in tempo, it is a powerfully holistic approach to better health. ▼
CROP Combs the Beach!
CAMP Rehoboth Outreach Program (CROP) volunteers woke to a very chilly morning on June 3 as they joined other volunteers with Friends of Cape Henlopen to clear trash on Cape Henlopen’s trails and beach again this year as part of National Trails Day. The cold, strong winds and pounding surf did not deter the hardy CROP team from completing its assigned area. Volunteers were rewarded with a delicious lunch prepared by the Village Improvement Association.
Everyone enjoyed another CROP experience, along with meeting and talking with members of the Cape Henlopen Friends group. Friends’ President John Bracco said, “We appreciate the efforts of CAMP Rehoboth in helping preserve Cape Henlopen State Park.” Special thanks to Kay Ellis for leading the CROP team as it contributed to another great job in the community! ▼
CROP Ushers in a Summer Concert!
In mid-June, CAMP Rehoboth Outreach Program (CROP) volunteer teams assisted with ushering at the CAMP Rehoboth Chorus’s summer concert, “Out for the Summer.” After the first night, they dispensed with their usual vests and bow ties and followed the Chorus’s lead with festive beach attire. The evening performances and Sunday matinee were another huge success for the Chorus—CAMP Rehoboth’s singing ambassadors! ▼
