Best Moments from Sunrise
What is one moment at camp you will never forget?
Emily: Making sand castles at the waterfront!
Lauren: Sailing for the first time.
Libby: When I made Sophia, Jenny, and Ceci cry. I started hugging them and they broke into tears.
Ximena: Being hyper and running laps around the cabin with Amelia. It was super fun laughing and running all around the cabin!
Amelia: Having loads of energy and running laps around the cabin until we grew tired. Those were the good times!
Becky: My first day at camp! I remember Sofia (my counselor) shouting my name and 5 minutes later telling me to go to the cabin, but in that moment, I forgot who she was! I also won’t forget Claire telling me to put my pajamas on, and I didn’t understand what she was saying. It was SO cool!
What is something adventurous you did this past summer?
Emily: I tried new things.
Lauren: When I went with Farm Zoo to Lost Lake at Towering Pines.
Libby: I soloed a canoe for the first time.
Ximena: Passing my level in water-skiing – I didn’t think I could do it!
Amelia: This summer I tried 2 new activities (tennis and riflery). Both of them are now my favorite activities!
Becky: Getting to canoe across the lake was something new for me. Rachel, Elena, and I were singing during the entire trip. Sleeping outside in the woods was amazing! And, I ate s’mores for the first time (they were delicious)!
What is something for which you are most proud?
Emily: I am proud of passing a level in archery when it was my first time shooting.
Lauren: I passed out of Level 4 in swimming lessons.
Libby: Passing levels in activities and trying new things.
Ximena: Making new friends, passing out of swimming lessons, and passing levels in other activities. I also make others have a great summer!
Amelia: Learning to take 2 minute showers – it really comes in handy!
Becky: I did a lot of new things this summer! I shot a gun for the first time, I learned how to ride, I knee-boarded for the first time, I improved a lot in gymnastics, and I made a lot of new friends!
What is something you learned about yourself?
Emily W: I am a good shooter and swimmer.
Lauren: I am braver than I thought!
Libby: I usually don’t give up when trying new things.
Ximena: That I can do everything I put my mind to and achieve it no matter what. I think that is AMAZING!
Amelia: I learned that I don’t have to be perfect. All that matters is that I try and believe in myself.
Becky: I realized that my way to run is so weird, but it makes me run faster!
