Camp Files – Day 2: Friends and Stories
The camp friendships are real.
This year, we finally are starting to see the same group of students, over and over, and they really do thrive on these relationships!

Camp Day 5 – Closure
Yet, at some point, the labyrinth ends, and you must exit back into the world that you left.
Not unlike the labyrinth, the kids are getting ready to leave camp.
They’ve been in a place of reflection and contemplation at camp, but now it is time to go.
Camp Day 4 – Messy
Screams of fright and delight from the far field? A counselor rambling obscure directions of a megaphone that no one is listening to? That’s right, the day has arrived
Messy Games day!
Camp Day 3 – Team building

Camp Day 2 – Adrenaline
That’s what they seem to be running on today: adrenaline. In their excitement from Day 1, I am sure they stayed up way too late and got up much earlier than they wanted to. After all, new friendships needed to be made, and what better place than a cabin at camp?
Camp Roundup – Day 1: A Return (Sort of) to Normal.
