I'm back.

Camp was...a wonderful experience.

August is turning out to be a busy month.

I'm so grateful I had the opportunity to be a part of the Artemis program. Not only was I a part of it, I helped begin it. It's a great source of pride in my life. I just feel it is an accomplishment that is beyond anything else I've ever done. Especially as a teenager, this was a rare chance. I did it. For five years, it was a increasingly significant part of my life. Without ALTA and Camp Artemis I know I would be a very different person. Naturally, I was sad about this all ending. I knew all my friendships would continue and I would always remain loyal to the program and return, but I cried because it was another marker signifying the end of something for me. It was intensely personal, but overall I'm just very happy. I didn't really cry at graduation or the end of senior year, but I did at our tri-phase campfire and at the staff campfire on the very last night. I'm so grateful. This was special. I'm forever in love with camp.
