We are entering the final stretch of Camp Our Time 2011, here in the beautiful mountains of North Carolina. It's hard to believe that all the kids and counselors will be headed back to their homes across the US and abroad on Tuesday morning. Even though it has flown by, the richness of the experience has been incredible. The people here are AMAZING. So many forever-friends have been made, so many fears have been faced and overcome, so much joyful fun has been had, so many people have inspired each other. My own kiddos -- who are not even official campers -- have had the absolute best time of their lives, and I have witnessed them mature by leaps and bounds while doing so.
I encourage you to check out the Camp Our Time Blog to see tons more awesome photos of the adventures of the past week (and past years), as well as the Camp Our Time website to learn more about this program.
Thank you SO MUCH for the outpouring of love and well-wishes after I announced our big news. Your kindness, encouragement, and excitement means the world to me.
Have a wonderful weekend! Posting will continue to be sparse around here until we return to our regular NYC rhythm later this month. Meanwhile, thanks for stopping by!

Thanks for posting this. I wish this had existed 15 years ago, for my sister's sake.
ReplyDeleteLeigh! I had no idea you have been in my town this month! I have been off my usual blog reads for a couple of weeks, and JUST saw that you were in WNC...Have you been able to do much sight seeing outside of camp? I remember that sky, too...that was after the rain showers this past week (am I right?), when the sky was so beautiful it made me want to take a painting class. My daughter went to Camp Tekoa for two weeks of day camp and loved every second. I wish I could be a kid again sometimes. Congratulations on your pregnancy! Very exciting!
ReplyDeleteLooks like a blast! What a great program! :-)
