The impact that these young people have on kids is tremendous. I hope that Carter will take what she learned about being a good counselor from the ones she has had and applies those lessons to her life. It gave me the feeling that I could do anything, well except jump off high places.
But my friends encouraged me and never left me behind. I was in way worse shape than I am now and the idea that I could shimmy between two giant vertical rocks to reach the summit seemed impossible. I remember a time in the 80’s that I climbed the Old Rag Mountain with a group of friends. Doing something out of your comfort zone with a group of great friends is the kind of thing that stays with you. As I walk on a flat treadmill with no switchbacks in my site I try and imagine how hard that hike was for Carter. But completing the ten-mile hike up Stone Mountain really makes me happy. Thank goodness she had her Rafki stick nearby. I am proud that Carter did her solo night outdoors even if it meant that she had to kill what was reported to be a copper head snake. But if you love the people you are with your energy is increased being with them rather than zapped. For someone who is way more introverted than extroverted camp could feel overwhelming since you just don’t have that much alone time. I am truly grateful to her last session counselors Bekah and Shaefer for creating a fun, warm, accepting environment for what Carter says was the best cabin ever. For an only child camp is the best dose of the-world-does-not-revolve-around-you and offers a chance to have great “older siblings” in her counselors. As much as Carter loves Tumbler and her British You Tubers, she loves camp more.
Nowhere else is there a place that kids are truly unplugged.
Summer camp is more important for kids now than ever before.
