Mid-summer campfire

Hello families,
Tonight was a very special evening for us. We had our mid-summer campfire. What makes this campfire unique is multi-year campers and counselors speak on what camp means to them and how it has helped to shape their life. You would be in awe. They all speak of the clay road, the activities, the horses but in the end they all agree it is the friends and sense of family that brings them back year after year. It is inspiring to all whether you are a first year camper or a 16 year veteran like me. What was really awesome was after we sang the Alma Mater, I encouraged any camper to speak up if they had something to say about camp. You would be amazed at how many of our first year campers stepped out from the circle and spoke about Circle F. Wow, I am so happy that they are feeling so welcome and so much a part of what we call our family. As I walked back to teh office, cabin groups were gathering by the fire and on the beach to have their evening cabin gathering to finish their day. I know that everyone had alot on their mind after tonights campfire. Your children are wonderful and having a very special experience this session. I can't believe we only have one more week together. Where did the time go?? Thank you for sharing your most precious children with us. Sleep well...I know we will.
Diana, Murray and the gang
