Because of Camp

If you haven't viewed the new ACA Public Service Announcement titled Because of Camp I encourage you to. 

If you went to camp as a child, worked at camp as an adult or now send your own children to camp you will connect to the message. 

I had the good fortune of attending camp as a child, working at camp as a young adult and into adulthood and now my boys attend camp each summer. (You can bet our daughter will be going when she is old enough).  

Camp changed my life in countless ways, here are just a few. 

Because of Camp, as a camper, I made life long friendships with girls from all over the United states, gals who shaped many of my beliefs and who provided me with perspective I may not have gained elsewhere. 

Because of Camp,  as a counselor, I learned how to plunge toilets, settle conflict between 8 year old girls at bedtime and that a summer camp experience lasts far beyond the paycheck earned!

Because of Camp, as a mom, my husband and I have found partners to help us raise our children.  In addition to providing our boys a chance to take safe risks the camp experience provides our boys the opportunity to make friends with people they may not typically meet and to develop positive relationships with caring adults who make each day fun! 

Camp is more than sweet memories, it is a place where children develop and hone life skills, make lasting friendships and most important - they get to be children!  

Please view the PSA and share with me How your life has changed, Because of Camp...

 

Make it a great day!
