It’s a bittersweet couple of days. Those staying first session were glad to see their parents again, but it’s a tough thing to leave those you’ve spent every minute with for the past three weeks. We watched several guys stretch out saying goodbye for as long as they could.
Tomorrow is more of the same. Glorious and wonderful to see those we love most, but oh so sad for many of us at 3pm departure. Luckily, we have Carnival as soon as the cars drive away. Lots of spirit-lifting here – it’s what we do.
Speaking of…it was Spirit Night here. There were reminders woven into the evening about how fortunate we are to have so much love surrounding us, whether from those at home or here at camp. We’re especially good at taking care of our friends, so will share our parents with those who don’t have visitors tomorrow.
It was a first-ever for Cool2Care chain recipients. The all-time highest number of recognition cards were entered into the C2C Cooler – over 50! This led to the most chain recipients in Skylemar history – five!
