Early Goodbyes

 As we are nearing the end of a summer (fortunately we get TWO more weeks!), we are having to say goodbye to several counselors and campers.  In Friday morning's assembly, we took a few moments to recognize this fact.  Along with a few other counselors, CILT Director Dee was spending her very last day at Camp Rising Sun.  We presented her with a lamp, signed by the entire staff, so that she may carry the light of Rising Sun with her as she moves on to a new chapter of her life.

Immediately after this presentation, the whole room was filled with hugs and tears. Everyone began reminiscing about their time at camp from this summer and from years of the past.  In this moment, the love of Camp Rising Sun was so powerful and so clear. This picture is the perfect representation of what we were all feeling - not only Friday, but all summer long.

Though we only have two weeks left, I like to think that we are so blessed to have these two weeks left together.  This amazing summer isn't over yet!  Our entire staff is so looking forward to spending these next couple of weeks with your campers, making lifelong friendships and memories.  We hope you have a wonderful weekend and cannot wait to see you on Monday!

Rising Sun Love,
Megan
