Thanks for the Memories

I have no idea if anyone is going to read the updates this weekend… I am not going to write much today, because I know that if anyone IS reading they are probably June Campers who are checking out the camp blog (probably for the first time). I don’t want to bore them!

Consider this my little “message in a bottle” to you June Campers. I throw it out on the waves of the internet, hoping that it might wash up on your shores of home.

A Joke to start: remember the one about the squirrell who was hit by a car while crossing the street. She made it to the mail box and as her friend hopped to her side she said: “Do you think this address makes me look flat?”!

That was one from the first days of camp, I bet many of you remember it… you remember a lot of things about camp. Now that you are home, keep those lessons in mind. The camp “Bubble” really is an attitude that you can always have… it makes life better.

We miss you and hope that you have a wonderful summer. We hope that you will be returning to camp next year, but we also know that for some of you this was your last camp experience. Thank you for being such a great group and for making this such a great camp. Thanks for the memories!

PS One of our campers is a poet! Evelyn Boyle wrote a poem about camp in March this year and her mother presented it to me this morning as a “thank you” for a great summer… I loved it. Her phrase “where friends become sisters” is profoundly beautiful. So my final words come from Evelyn:

_Greystone, you’re my summer home.
Where strangers become friends
And friends become sisters._

_My mom and I love you Greystone
We know you love us too._

_We hate to leave you.
We tear up for you
Camp Greystone._

_May our Spirits always stay with you
And we will always remember you._

Sweet
Dear
Greystone
