Well, its 6:00pm on August 20, 2010 and all of the campers have just gone home. Normally I wouldn’t be blogging this late but, to be honest, I haven’t really been looking forward to officially saying that summer is over. Now I know it’s not really over but to everyone here at Rising Sun, camp is what truly defines summer. Every single person that played a part in camp this year is passionate about the YMCA and everything we do here. Whether it’s getting covered in mustard, ketchup and other random food items, or going crazy in a dance party, or just playing a game; we love every second of it. As I mentioned in yesterday’s blog, the YMCA is a home to us and I hope that it has become one for your family too.
I was trying to look through all of the pictures hoping that I could find one that described the summer, but not one could fully encompass how much fun we have had here at Rising Sun. So, I want to encourage you to talk to your camper about their favorite part of camp, about what they are going to remember the most when they look back on the summer of 2010, and tell them to always keep that with them. I want to leave you with this quote:
“Memory is a way of holding on to the things you love, the things you are, the things you never want to lose.”
Good Night Camp Rising Sun – I love you.
Good Night Camp Rising Sun – I love you.
