Hot, Hot, Hot

    The weather was hot and the sun a bit relentless for the first day of camp, but it's August in Mosier so a nice breeze kept us all going along.
    The first day of any adventure can bring nervous jitters, wide-eyed amazement, and excited jumpiness for kids and adults alike. By tomorrow the kinks in the systems smooth away and campers will act like they are ready to be the counselors themselves.
    As camp director I tend to move from one spot to another without a chance to settle in and stay for any deep length of time, but it gives me wonderful impressions to carry home with me.  A few of Day 1 are:
  • Every camper joining in a very silly song with Bill.
  • Mandy's beautiful voice leading us in song.
  • Althea in Theatre Builds Community creating safe space for each child's unique expression.
  • Hands busy in clay, wet paper and flower seeds, sewing, or weaving recycled t-shirts.
  • Lots and lots of running and laughing.
  • Simple, wholesome food made by loving hands.
  • New friendships developing and old ones rekindled.
  • A village learning, stretching and growing together in raucous Peace.
