[the BEAGLE (Beaver/Eagle) Cabin]

Session 1 is over and Jenny and I are on break for a couple of days before the next batch of kids arrive tomorrow. It was a fantastic week, and though the numbers were low, the energy was high. The Eagle Cabin hosted a half dozen of the most awesomest kids I have ever met. I thoroughly enjoyed the week, and look forward to Session 2. The Eagles are males aged 13-14. They are the second youngest male cabin on site.

It really struck me this session just how much camp means to some of these kids. Many have severe disabilities that really affect the social aspect of their life. As one parent told the staff, "It's not like his phone is ringing off the hook." But from the first moment these kids step on the grounds here, they are met with cheering, encouragement, and complete support. They have real friends here, and they love it more than I will ever know.

1 down, 6 to go. This summer is gonna go by all too fast!
