Hello Friends and Family!
This week I am happy to bring some very exciting news. Last night we held our first Naming Ceremony of the Second Half (our third Naming Ceremony of the summer). The day of a Naming Ceremony is full of energy and up at Flying Cloud we call them “a Party Day!” We had a wonderful group of guests come to celebrate the young men receiving their Flying Cloud names. Indian Brook brought a couple dozen visitors and all of Saltash Mountain Camp made an appearance. The night was filled with great food, fun games, and crazy dancing. Most importantly though, nine people were given their Flying Cloud Names.
Please join me in welcoming all of our new Flying Cloud brothers:
Stone Meadow
Amber Heron
Mink Brother
Maple Holds the Spring
Ember Speaks
Wolf Echo
Solstice Raising
Catamount Carries South
I would also like to send out a welcome to an important F&W community member who was named at FC last night. Pieter Bohen, our Executive Director, was given an FC name in honor of the work that he does for us and all of F&W. We are excited to welcome Pieter to our community as…
Mountain Calls the Light
The Naming Ceremonies run late so we made sure to get some rest today. Things are speeding up fast though. Tomorrow we will be packing up all of our gear to head out on trips for four days. We have a great set of adventures lined up for the boys which we’ll be sure to share more about when they arrive home at the end of the week.
until our next update, be well!
