Hello Again Flying Cloud Blog Readers!
First, just let me apologize for being a couple days late on this one. Our long trips returned this weekend and we jumped straight into another Naming Ceremony, so suffice it to say, I have been a bit busy. In fact, I had become so lost in woods that I didn’t even realize that the weekend had come and gone and that I was two days behind my normal schedule of blog posts. All that being said, I think having this new set of names to share with y’all is well worth the wait.
As much as I love all of our naming ceremonies, I especially love the ones with so many guests. Last night, we had over 200 people join us at Flying Cloud to honor our newly named brothers. Our guests were campers at other Farm & Wilderness camps who joined us as part of our all-camps Interdependence Day festivities. It was a pretty wild party and although it’s a big fire in a big circle, we came pretty close to overfilling it!
So, please join me in welcoming all these newly named Flying Clouders. May they always carry this experience close to their heart and know our village in the woods supports them:
Coyote Stands
Wolf Tree
Wolverine Loves the Sky
Caribou Sings
Owl Tends the Tide
Equinox Wave
Wildfire Heart
Raven and Bear
Moonsong Rain Tracker
This is a beautiful set of names for a wonderful set of young men. For those parents out there, my apologies that I can’t let you know your son’s name in this online space. Rest assured, you will find out soon though. Our lodge staff members are already hard at work writing letters to y’all about the experience your son has had at Flying Cloud.
When you hear from me next, we will be stepping into our second session! We are so excited to have all the new brothers joining us in just one short week. Until then, we have a number of powerful experiences and moments coming for our first session community and I look forward to telling you more about those soon!
Be well and much love Brothers and Sisters,
~FF~
