I'm writing this on a Monday morning, following events at most of our camp properties all weekend. We had girls doing all sorts of things this weekend, but mostly they were learning while having fun.
It is simply amazing to see so many people outdoors, working with girls to learn about their environment and their world. They honed their skills that will serve them for a lifetime and and got to experience new things. There was zip lining, canoeing, archery, horseback riding, sailing, tie-die, starting fires, making a meal over an open campfire, s'mores, and a campfire to round out the evening. The weather wasn't quite perfect. Although the sun was warm, the wind was brisk and the evenings chilly. But the girls and their mentors integrated that into their weekend experience.
As we have talked to girls who shared this experience, whether it was Camp Scoutshire Woods, Camp Sid, or Kamp Kiwanis, everyone reported they had a great time. In fact, some that we talked to were wildly enthusiastic about the weekend they had. This is what fond memories are made of, and I have to think it was not only the girls who had a memorable weekend.
Thank you to all who went to a lot of work and effort to make that weekend so fantastic for so many. We appreciate all you do to make the world a better place.
