New Year

Every new year I see countless people proclaim, "New year, new me!" on social media. While I do agree with the sentiment, I don't believe someone will be a fundamentally different person just because it's a new year. Who you truly are will not change, but you can always strive to be a better version of yourself. Camp is no different.

A new year at camp is a turning point of sorts. We’ve had plenty of time since the end of summer to see what we did well and what we can improve on for the coming summer. Fundamentally, camp will be exactly the same. There will still be happy campers running around having the most fun, ever. There will still be counselors making fools of themselves on stage during sing-song. We will still throw 10,000 nickels in the pool every four weeks. Our core values and what makes us who we are will be exactly the same as they were last year.

This doesn't mean there won't be changes. We have revamped our lunch menu and vendors to better serve the needs of our camp families. We have a new member on our leadership team, Eugene, who will lead our pool and rockwall crews. Personally, I am excited for the new soccer nets and the effect all the rain is having on the grass out here. Not to mention the new crew of staff and brand new campers that will be here before we know it. There will be differences and changes to camp this year, but our core purpose of ensuring campers have the most safe and fun summer will always be fundamentally who we are!
