This weekend at Farm and Wilderness is one where we say good bye to one wonderful group of campers and prepare to embrace the next. It is the center of the summer, and perhaps the weekend where the heart beats the loudest.
The day before pick up, we ran an activity where campers could write their hopes and dreams down on pieces of fabric to string into prayer flags. We were not quite sure what the activity would bring, but the timing was clearly spot on, and for this camp director, it made my heart sing. We hung the prayer flags on the wall behind our meeting circle that evening, where we all sat in candlelight together in the community that we created in 24 days.
I want to personally thank you for sharing your children with us, they truly are the inspiration behind all the work we do throughout the year.
Warmly,
Nicole Sutherland-Maiden and all the wonderful Indian Brook Staff of 2010
