There seems to be a vibe on camp that is quite contagious. As we are quickly approaching the last two weeks of camp, there is a renewed appreciation of where we are. We are all noticing how fast our summer is going by so we aren’t sweating the small stuff here. Everyone is relaxed and fully embracing the home stretch of summer 2024. We are trying to stretch the days and lengthen the nights. With each bugle that rings it means that time is passing and soon we will be heading home so we are getting it all in while we can and making every second matter. Friendships are becoming deeper and more meaningful by the minute. In two weeks, our hugs and long talks face-to-face will be replaced with texts and snap chats. The smiles we see everyday will soon become a little happy face emoji we type into a screen. It’s unreal that what we experience here everyday, has to end in just 13 days but what we are left with are hearts full of great memories and a summer that embraced us. We were sitting with our CIT girls tonight in the Lodge, as they finished up helping serve at pizza parties and they were sharing with me how much this summer has meant to all of them.  They shared so much gratitude for the summer they have experienced, the memories they all made together and the love they all feel for Chenny. Tomorrow night, these amazing girls will take the stage for their very last Girls Sing and it seems surreal to us all. We are so excited to see them one last time perform together on our stage. We have no doubt this will be a night to remember.

And the Oscar goes to…… The Chenny cast of Lion King!! This was the best theater show production we have ever had here at camp. The costumes, the choreography, the drama, the singing all lent itself to one incredible and perfect summer camp production. The audience was entertained and so supportive of their friends up on that stage. It was just another example of how much we care about one another here at Chenny. And for our actors who have worked so hard on this show and committed to be a cast member, we are in awe of their performance. The courage and bravery it takes to stand in front of camp and perform cannot go unrecognized. It takes a lot and these kids gave a lot. What an absolutely incredible show.
