It’s always hard to say goodbye to a favorite part of your life, but it is a part of growing. We hope the bonds and friendships from camp will help you safely prepare for life in–not of — the world. Who knows? You might even marry someone you met at camp (e.g. Willis, McGaugheyx2, Walker). We let you keep all the memories you want for free 🙂
