...I had the opportunity to catch up with Claire, a former staff member, at Davidson University. Claire didn't work at camp last summer but she had a great experience working at a Hole in the Wall Gang camp up in Connecticut. I love hearing about different camps and I'm always interested to hear what our staff--both former and current--are up to with their lives.
As Claire talked about her summer she kept referring to "Camp" and how she was going back to "Camp" this coming summer. She caught herself a few times and made sure that I knew she was talking about Connecticut and the Hole in the Wall Gang. While I was very happy that Claire found a great place where she can make a big difference in the lives of some deserving kids, I was a little sad that "Camp" for her wasn't Camp Kanata anymore.
Whenever I'm out in Raleigh or Wake Forest and I run into families or staff members we have a great time talking about Camp and we never have to say what camp we're talking about. For us, there is only one camp--that's just the way it is--and that's how we want everyone to feel when they come to Kanata. We want you to feel like you're talking about Home. After all, you never have to explain what Home is to someone. Sure you might have to tell them where Home is or how long you've lived there, but you never have to explain what Home means.
If you are reading this blog odds are Camp Kanata is Home to you. If it's been a while since you visited please consider stopping by soon! We're always happy to see people and you'll give us an excuse to get outside and walk around a bit as well (not like we need an excuse!). See you soon.
