Summer 2017: A Photo Diary

November 15, 2017

Each summer at camp I am the designated photographer. Not just because well, that’s my job, but also because I absolutely love taking and sharing photos of all my friends at camp. Mine is a tech-free camp, which means that the other staff aren’t allowed their phones when they’re around kids, so they don’t really … More Summer 2017: A Photo Diary

So in all that time, there’s … More My Best Summer Camp Memories

Returning to Camp with CCUSA: September Update

September 30, 2017

I know I say this every month, but really… the END of September? Already? SEPTEMBER! How does that happen?

Returning to Camp with CCUSA: August Update

September 1, 2017

How is it possibly September already? I thought July went quickly but jeez… this summer has just blown right by and I feel like I barely even noticed. But what an incredible summer it’s been.

Returning to Camp with CCUSA: July Update

July 30, 2017

So I’ve now been at camp for exactly a month, which is totally mental. Some days it feels like I’ve been here forever, and other times it seems really bizarre that its only been 4 weeks, because SO MUCH has happened. I really don’t even know where to start. Arriving on that Friday night, and … More Returning to Camp with CCUSA: July Update

June 30, 2017

I’m on the plaaaaaane! That’s right, the day has finally come.
