happy opening day to the aloha camps! i couldn't help but think of the lucky kids who packed their trunks and arrived in fairlee, vt today for a transformational summer experience. and of course, of the counselors (many of whom are dear to me) who are fortunate enough to have arranged their life to put them in fairlee for the summer- ready for adventure, community, growth & fun. this is the first summer i will have spent in vermont that did not include a session or entire summer in fairlee since 1994. it has now been 4 years since i last worked at aloha, so i often think i've distanced myself from thinking through each day on the lake and what might be going on, but i'm sure being only an hour away will make it a bit different this summer. i'm thankful for all that aloha has brought into my life.
here's last summer's opening day post.
