Food for thought — camp style

Dear camp friends and families,

*Almost* wherever you are, if you are in the 'States today, it is c-o-l-d. Camp is drastically cold; pipes are freezing to buildings we didn't think they would (good thing Joseph is a call away to fix things as best he can.) While we go about our work, planning for both summer camp and the many groups who visit CFA and grow in our outdoors experience, the weather can be a nuisance and a distraction and it is sometimes hard to envision the lush green trees of summer and the shrieks and laughter of a hundred kids in motion. With that in mind, here's three little thoughts to share and some memories of seven months ago, in the spirit of camp.

I am always doing that which I cannot do, in order that I may learn how to do it.
—Pablo Picasso


It's easy to make a buck. It's a lot tougher to make a difference.
—Tom Brokaw


The most I can do for my friend is simply be his friend.
— Henry David Thoreau

Stay warm, keep loving those around you, and see you next time!

Cross-blog posting

Fantastic post from the blog of South Mountain YMCA Camps— one of their Irish counselors wrote an essay entitled "A Day in the Life of a Camp Counselor."

Enjoy!

(PS; South Mountain Y.. Keep blogging! We love your stuff.)
