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... |
|
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!
