Dear Indian Brook Families,
And where exactly did the last three weeks go? We are all having so much fun and are looking forward to you all participating in some of our activities this coming Friday.
The day gets off to an early start. We begin with two very moving pieces of program. At 9:00 a.m., we sing together (and likely will sing the Interdependence day song along with other camp favorites), with counselors and campers linked together by hands or arms around shoulders….and, yes, tears of happiness and letting go. From here, we move on to the meeting circle to reflect in the experience of Silent Meeting. Campers and staff alike will often share some of their personal growth during their stay at camp, a personal favorite of mine.
Once Silent Meeting is complete, this would be the perfect opportunity for campers who are leaving at the half to load their luggage into their cars and tour parents around the campus. At noon, you have two options: You are welcome to join for us for lunch or bring a picnic lunch for you and your child to enjoy. If you do intend to stay for lunch, please let me know by this Wednesday, so I can give Anna, our cook, an estimate of how many people will be dining with us. Your children’s counselors will be heading for their day off at noon, and the support staff will be your hosts for the remainder of the day.
Full season parents are welcome to stay until 5:00 p.m. to visit with their children. Each activity area will have displays of what the children have been doing during camp. The waterfront will be open should you choose to go swimming, so don’t forget to pack your suit.
If you have any additional questions please do not hesitate to contact me.
Best,
Nicole Sutherland-Maiden
