Looks Like we Made it...Home!

Could it really be?  Our last morning at BJP? It has been a week of fun, learning, gaining responsibility (yes the campers set the table for meals, cleaned up after meals, and made their own beds...don't let them fool you) not to mention making lots of new friends.  We have gained skills, friends, and a lifetime of memories.  That is what makes today so difficult.  A week ago we had no idea we would have so much fun!
So we are packed and loaded, cabins are cleaned and what is left?  Food of course.  We have to have our final breakfast of bacon egg and cheese biscuits.  Yum!  After breakfast it was time for awards and the fashion show.  The fashion show is not your typical event.  Counselors model what they find in each of the cabins and let those who left them behind claim their items.  We had a couple of folks who almost left several items behind.
Our experience at Betsy Jeff Penn was not quite done.  Every camper received an award, wether it was super camper, super friend, or just superman each counselor gave someone in their cabin an award that fit them to a T.  After everyone had a chance in the spot light we settled in to view the slide show highlighting our adventures from the week.
When we were done it was time to board the buses and head home.  We hugged our friends, and counselors, promised to be in touch and settled in for the long ride home.  When we arrived we were happy to see our parents, and tell them of our adventures, sometimes so fast that they couldn't understand us.
 We hope everyone had a great time and that you will think about joining us on our adventure again next year.
