Our History

In 2014 they found their first summer camper who wanted to go on. Seven years later, in 2021, that same camper won a silver medal at the World Championships for athletes under age 23.

The club formed with Craig Caddell, the camper’s father, as co-founder and in 2018 RTR incorporated as a California 501(c)(3).

Since its founding, RTR has served nearly 100 young people of varied backgrounds and abilities.
