“The RV Jamboree is an incredible example of the community coming together to make a difference in the life of a child,” commended Kim Smith, Development Director at Make-A-Wish Connecticut. “When you see this many people come out year after year for a weekend-long celebration, filled with energy and excitement and just sheer joy, you cannot help but be reminded of the good in people.
