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!
