I got to visit camp
It was strange being there in the winter
I think of camp as verdant green
With trees full of foliage
But it’s the end of winter and
The trees were bare
And all the colors were muted
Even the evergreens were dull

But oh how wonderful it was
To be on that hallowed ground
Sharing what camp is all about
With new families
Our tour group was a little hesitant at first, but
By the end, the kids were asking questions
A little glint in their eye
Thoughts of projects and doing as they please
All summer

It was hard to leave
Despite the grey, the mosses were still glowing
Fairy magic at play
It felt mean to only stay a few hours
And have to drive back to Jersey

Tomorrow is 100 days until staff arrive
I can’t wait.
