The summer of 2012 has begun! Twenty-four hours ago, there were twenty-four of us sitting in the dining room. This morning, we finished breakfast with more than 80. Just as the food filled our bodies, our community is similarly being nourished by the arrival of campers. We are full and content, packed with energy for a summer of excitement. I can already feel this assembly is ready to bloom into an amazing community. Sometimes one can simply tell when a special group comes together. I already have that feeling. A rainy opening day like yesterday provides a certain set of challenges and our campers were barely fazed. I had the opportunity to walk around to all of the cabins last night and the sights warmed my heart. Every cabin had campers huddled around the kerosene lantern, conversations zinging back and forth. If they already felt that comfortable, I can only imagine what the summer holds. Thanks for reading. I do hope you will check back frequently as more posts will come through. The warm weather approaches!
My Best,
