Ten
Summers at Camp America
by
Sonja Miley |
What
makes your life rich? Full? Meaningful? Is it travel, or
maybe making new friends? Does hard work scare you or can
you rise to the challenges of new adventures? Have you ever
dreamed of making an impact on the lives of others by simply
being who you are? If you are looking for an avenue to explore
these questions and more, Camp America can be the conduit
to bring new adventure and fun into your life.
I worked on an American summer camp in California for ten
summers in a row. I could probably write a book about the
incredible people I met from all over the world in those
ten years, or the diversity and individuality of the children
I was a counsellor to, or even some of the tears I shed.
I might write about sitting around an open campfire roasting
marshmallows while telling ghost stories, lying underneath
an open sky so clear you can see a blanket of stars, getting
thrown into an ice-cold river after losing a baseball match
on a scorching hot day, watching the joy on a child's face
as he learns to ride a horse for the very first time.
Whether in a book or in a couple of paragraphs, the message
I would convey most emphatically about my life on camp in
America, is the richness and fullness of my experiences
during each summer and the richness that I continue to feel
now.
