Camp Heart Connection Una Fieta Fantastica

Friday’s Message from Camp Heart Connection Director, Channon Timm, “We are all part of our own families, but we are also connected to each other and make up the Camp Heart Connection family!”

Campers and Counselors having fun in 2005!

Today’s theme was Una Fiesta Fantastica. This was originally the theme in 2005. Children’s Cancer Connection’s Volunteer and Information Manager Elly Shaw joined the Camp Heart Connection staff in 2005 after spending many years as a sibling camper.

 

Campers enjoyed their final full day of activities. 

This evening was one of the most special for campers all week (and a little rain didn't get in our way.) Circle Awards were given to each camper recognizing something special about them that will be remembered even after leaving camp. (FYI Circles are how campers are organized into cabins the youngest campers are circle 3 through the oldest campers in circle 1). A graduation ceremony was also held for graduating seniors in Chase Lodge.

Later in the evening everyone attended Wish Night. Wish Night is an opportunity for campers to share their wish with other campers if they like. Some of the wishes were silly, while others more serious. Wish Night is truly an unforgettable experience for both campers and staff.

This is the final blog post for the week. Please remember that Camper Checkout begins at 9:30 a.m. tomorrow.
