Introducing Superhero Summer!

Look…up in the sky! It's a bird, it's a plane, it’s the announcement that everyone has been waiting for: The new 2011 theme for the Family Vacation Center! This year, get ready to celebrate…A Superhero Summer!

Grab your capes, tights, and little sidekicks as we embark on a family vacation that will include a Superhero Training Camp at the Family Carnival, Secret Identities from your kid’s group counselors, and your favorite villains lurking around every corner from the Water Show to the Campfire.

In addition to all the amazing activities and events that we have planned this summer, keep your eyes peeled for Superhero Derby Cars and the newly-released Adult Activity Series – the FVC’s grown-up side of fun. The Superhero Summer at the Family Vacation Center will be one for the record books!

Introducing the New FVC Director: Sheri Fruhwirth

The UC Santa Barbara Family Vacation Center is proud to welcome aboard a new Director! Sheri Rae Fruhwirth has enthusiastically accepted the FVC Director position. Sheri is a San Diego State graduate with a degree in Recreation Service, and extensive experience in resort and recreation management. She has worked with Mickey and the gang on Disney Cruises, served as the Assistant Director for The Nemacolin Woodlands Resort in Pennsylvania and most recently was a recreation specialist for a Community Recreation and Park District. With a passion for family activities and guest services, Sheri will undoubtedly be an excellent addition to the FVC managerial team. Join us this summer in welcoming Sheri to the FVC family!

The FVC Starfish (FVCS) sat down for an interview with our new director to discuss some important topics:

FVCS: What is your favorite camp memory?
Sheri: I grew up going to Girl Scout Camp in Arizona and I remember the long drive home singing every new camp song I had learned to my parents. So my favorite part of camp was the songs and skits!

FVCS: You must be friends with a few Disney characters, which are your favorite?
Sheri: I LOVE Chip and Dale because they can get away with anything! I spent two years working on the Disney Wonder Cruise Ship and those two were always up to something suspicious.

FVCS: Do you have any special talents?
Sheri: I can speak whale… just like Dory from Finding Nemo! And I’m the fastest Chicken Dancer you have ever seen. Side note: The VC Starfish would like her to prove these talents this summer.

Get to know Sheri this summer at the Family Vacation Center!
