Now that camping season is winding down, at least in this part of the world, here are some words from another camper sent to the Editor of Venture Inward in Virginia Beach, Virginia.
From Anna, age 13: “Camp is the kind of place where everyone feels accepted and welcome, even the animals. We have seen deer many times just quietly munching their way through Camp. I have been coming to camp for six years and never want to leave. The entire place has a feeling of joy and love, which permeates everything. The people are awesome! The counselors always have great ideas and are totally cool. I have known some of the people at Camp for ages and am always really excited to see them. There are always people I have never met, but everyone fits in right away and next thing you know you have a new best friend.
There are some really special places at camp such as: the tree house, the meditation grove, the pond and the garden. Just this year at Family Camp my dad stood up and made an important announcement at breakfast. It was my parents’ 19th wedding anniversary that day! My dad gave my mom a bouquet of beautiful wild flowers and a kiss. It was a touching moment. One would think that something like that might be embarrassing, but no it wasn’t. Camp is like that. Throughout the day, other people came up to them and said congratulations! It was really sweet.”
