This was Final Fling Week at Doublecreek. I have a hard time writing this article for two reasons. First, I missed all of the fun because of my teacher obligations and second, it was the very last week of summer. Let’s face it – Doublecreek is more fun to me than teaching. Please don’t judge me, but I’d rather be playing Lava Lake with the campers than sitting in workshops.
Director Dan tells me the week was amazing and even more adventurous with the rain! Final Fling Week dates back to when Uncle Carter and Aunt Trudy used to run camp. The name was derived from the attitude that it’s the last week of the summer and we are going to throw the schedules out the window to cater to the campers’ desires. This is still the case! When you add rain into the mix, it adds to this mentality, and creativity takes flight. The consensus around camp, was that more unique games and activities happened last week, than any other week all summer!
However, summer is over, and it’s time to go back to school. I hope your campers have had the greatest summer yet. I’ve enjoyed all our campers and our staff. I need to express my gratitude to our Doublecreek owners, Judy Kirtley and Jane Neal, for continuing the Doublecreek traditions. I need to thank our Director, Dan Neal, for continuing to make Camp Doublecreek a special place to spend the summer. And finally, I must thank you, parents, for trusting us with your precious children! Without your campers there wouldn’t be a Doublecreek. So, until Winter Break Camp, Spring Break Camp or until June 5th, 2017, when summer camp begins, we hope to see you again.
Have a great school year and thank you again for sharing your summer with us!
