Updates from Camp

it’s been pretty chill. last night was Trust Circle  so today was a sleep-in day, but i still almost missed breakfast. our advisee group actually met in the creek today, and i caught a crawdad and named it george. i didn’t actually end up going to Seeing Seen because after last night i was kinda […]

I started my day waking up in the field! it was my boyfriend Sully’s birthday, so I let him sleep in a while longer while i got ready for camp in the Lyrtle bathrooms. I spent most of my day working on the trust circle committee. it was my job to write down all of […]

An introduction before I begin: Hello, my name is Rylee (They/She). I’m a first year camper from the Chicago land area and I don’t think of myself much of a writer. But here we go. Starting my day I was a bit panicked as I had woken up later than I had intended and still […]

Hi my name is Adacus, 14 years old. Day five of camp was quite an amazing day. Today was skirt day, where most people who were able to acquire a skirt wore one for the day. I was able to borrow one from my close friend and wear it for the whole day. We started […]

Today was a rest day. And I truly think the day embodies rest energy.   I was awoken at around 9 am by the sound of soft flute music. I slowly started my morning walk to the lodge to make lattes for for some campers I had promised the previous night, lol. My breakfast consisted […]

I have always been a super social person so this camp is really something I can excel at. I’ve talked to a lot of people, met a bunch of really cool individuals and I’m loving it. really really loving it. so today i woke up, took a shower, and missed the first 30 minutes of […]

On day 2, I woke up in the field. This made rather a lot of sense, since I went to sleep in the field on day 1. It is still always a bit magical to open your eyes and only see sky, however, and I took advantage of the fact that the light from said […]

Waking up on the first full day of camp is always exciting. What’s ahead? How did Arrival Day go? Those two things are bound together whether one is a Camper of a Staffer. As the Driver and a member of the logistics team, Arrival Day is very busy, and how it played out can obviously […]

The day started quietly for me . The sounds of a light breeze and cows lowing filled the camp. This area is just begging for you to take a nap in the sun. I had gotten to the camp a couple days early to help setup. The realization that around 100 campers would fill the […]

I woke up this morning around 8:30am in my cozy spot in the staff tent “cul de sac” to the sound of the resident Myrtlewood site staff dog Baloo telling a story in woofs. I much prefer a nice canine alarm clock to my digital one!   9:30am was breakfast, which included a killer bowl […]
