'Please Pray For All of These Children and Their Families': River Valley Ranch Director
The following statement was released by River Valley Ranch following the death of a camper.
"It is with a very heavy heart that I share with you a tragedy that occurred at RVR tonight. Around 7 p.m. our Fort Roller and Arrowhead Woods campers, were gathered for meeting in the Arrowhead Woods pavilion. Our staff noticed a storm that was quickly approaching and immediately began moving the campers from the pavilion to the nearest secure building, Hilltop Hall. The storm came upon them in a very quick and severe manner before all the children reached the building. The intense storm knocked down numerous trees and limbs in a matter of seconds and 9 children were injured. I am sad to say that one of the children died from his injuries. Please pray for all of these children and their families."
—Jon Bisset, Executive Director, River Valley Ranch
