Friday was our last day at camp and full of mixed emotions. Honestly, just like our safety officer for the day, Damien, we didn't know whether to hug everyone and everything, laugh or cry. Our tired and tuckered youth packed up their things and dragged their stuff up to the luggage drop off points around the camp. We also enjoyed our last meal together at breakfast. From there our normal daily schedule took another turn.
We all headed to the rec hall for the official lost and found auction. You would be amazed at what gets left around the camp. Then it was time for camper awards. Each cabin counselor called their cabins up and gave awards to each camper, from the swag award to the super camper, and even the questionator the awards were matches for each camper while they were enjoying their week of camp. After the awards and before the goodbyes we had one more surprise. It was time for
the slide show. Parents you have had a chance to see the photos all week, our youth however, have not seen a one. So this brief slide show was a chance to see the photos and relive the events of the week. It also gave everyone a chance to laugh, say, "Awwwwhhhhh,", and even shed a tear or two. After that we dismissed by county and headed to our vehicles for our ride home. As we hugged our counselors and hated leaving it was time to return to the ones who let us have this great opportunity.
Thank you to all who made this happen, our parents, scholarship donors, Indian Education, and of course the staff who took such good care of us. Stay tuned because sometime in September we will announce the dates for camp in 2013. That will let everyone who wants to go back to go ahead and plan in advance for more fun at
Betsy Jeff Penn and with 4-H. If you would like to become more involved in 4-H give us a call at (910) 671-3276.
