Saying Goodbye

With sadness in our hearts we say goodbye to Sarah Johnston today, our Camp 3 Head Counselor. Sarah has been working at Rising Sun for years, and has become a personal friend to not only staff but campers of all ages. The connections she makes with kids is out of this world, some say it seems like they've known her forever. All campers can always count on Sarah to be there for them during the sad times and the good. She has moved mountains in Camp 3 this summer, creating a family atmosphere where pre-teens can not only have fun but also discuss real life issues during "Real Talk with Sarah". Along with that, Sarah designed fun activities throughout the summer, including LARPing, to make Camp 3 huddle time even more exciting. As a counselor, I have never seen a camp so connected as one unit. Although we are happy for her as she moves up in the Y as a Director, camp won't be the same without her. Make sure to ask your camper about the impact Sarah has made in their life throughout the years at Rising Sun.
