This week, 8 students from my high school are spending the week volunteering at camp. It's only Monday night and already they have gotten SOOOO much done. I am in disbelief and totally thrilled at all they have been able to do.
3 years ago, I arrived to camp, fresh faced, excited and ready to live out my dream job. Instead, I found a run down, ghost town camp that was filled with garbage, broken junk and was a mess. Myself and two others spent the entire month, 12 hours a day, cleaning and trying to get camp ready to host campers.
The progress that we have made over the past few years, combined with their hard work makes me feel incredibly optimistic. We have awesome programming and great staff, but when camp looks beautiful, the care we put into the grounds is a good illustration of the quality of our camp. I am so proud of the turn around and this week will be even more movement in the right direction.
