From the Archives of Summer '17: Last Evening - Part I

To mark the final day of August (the last of the pure summer months, none-the-less), we thought we'd jump-start our September-Summer-Reminiscing just a little bit early with a trip to the Photo Archives of Summer 2017. 

And what better way to recognize the last of the summer months than a trip back in time nearly two weeks ago to our last evening of Summer Camp 2017.



However!

Before it...

Can be...

The last...

Evening...

Of Summer 2017...

It needs to be...

The last...

Afternoon...

Of Summer 2017.

And since...

We end...

The summer season...

With Session 7:

S'morgasbord Week,

Our afternoon consists of some of...

The summer's best highlights...



Like a mid-day...

Counselor Hunt...




And once again...

Discovering a glitch in the Camp Time Machine...

That for some reason...

Only really seems to result...


In our staff spilling...


Coffee in their face...



Over...



And over...


And over again. (Welcome to Camp indeed.)



It is only after ALL OF THAT...


That our last afternoon...

Becomes our last evening...

And we're ready for...

Our...

Closing Campfire.

Assisted, of course, by the beautiful backdrop...

Of early twilight Lake Shawanni. 

It's the perfect venue...

To reflect...

To recap...

  • And to revel in...

A completed week...

Of Summer Camp.
Why,



It's even a good venue...







To all get together...

And...



Sing some songs about it. 

And it's even better...

If the Camp song...

Happens to be...

A brand new-song Camp song, we just made up.

Cause every unique week of Camp...

Deserves it's own unique...

Original composition.


Then it's on...




To one of our favorite moments...


Of the night...






The week...


And the summer.

Our salute...

To our CIT IIs...

On their last evening at Camp...

As campers.

(Y'know the CIT Coordinator likes it.)




Sure. It has the danger...



Of getting just a little...




Emotional.


Or a lot emotional.



But don't worry!

It can also...

Get pretty funny.



And then,

After it gets funny...


It usually gets...


Emotional again.

That's why we then...

Have to wrap the Closing Campfire up...

With another song.



And as the Closing Campfire ends, so end our closing ceremonies, and so ends our week at Summer Camp.

Kidding! Just kidding!


We love closing ceremonies so much...

The Closing Campfire...

Is only...

Just the beginning...


Of the end...


Of our Camp Week.

UP NEXT: Part II!
