SE Way Dedication

 

RB Dedicated Steve Elkins Way

Despite the threat of rain, more than 200 people came out for the dedication of Steve Elkins Way on Saturday, May 4. Honoring the life and work of beloved CAMP Rehoboth Co-founder and long-time Executive Director Steve Elkins, the dedication was a reminder of how much CAMP Rehoboth has accomplished since its founding in 1991 by Elkins and his husband Murray Archibald.
