Until Next Time

It was a quiet morning with the groups out for their cabin overnights.  It was fun to see them roll in telling me how it went as soon as they saw me.  It is a time-honored tradition that goes back many decades.  We feel an overnight camping experience in the woods is a big part of what summer camp is about.  It adds some grit. It helps us appreciate what we have, and the stories are always great.

We spent the better part of the day rotating through some more fun activities. At 5:00 pm the boys headed back to begin the transition of heading home tomorrow. They showered up and began reclaiming their items from about the cabin -both inside and out. After everyone was organized and showered, we headed up to the dining hall for a final banquet and then up to campfire for some mellow songs and a story.

I do have some housekeeping notes from Darby. If you are planning on shipping a trunk/duffle home, there are two steps. First, please fill out THIS FORM provided by our local UPS Store in Brevard. Second, please email our office to let us know that you wish to have your trunk/duffle shipped and we will deliver your item(s) to our local UPS store on Closing Day. UPS only needs the form filled out. Please contact Darby if you have questions. Don’t forget to check out Darby’s closing day email that went out earlier this week.

It sure is a wonderful bunch of young men! We got a little dirty, a little crazy, and we may have even struggled a bit. You know what, though?  We did it ourselves… Guided by some incredible young men and women that are the coolest thing since sliced bread.  We learned new skills, new adventures, but most importantly some life skills along the way that school can never teach us. We made some friends who we may only see for a week or so a year, but they may end up being the closest friends we’ll ever have.
