Join us on our 3-part video series throughout the next week to learn more.

When most people think about summer camp, they picture
s’mores, archery and perhaps canoeing a beautiful lake.
But they generally think of it as very American, like baseball, jazz and apple pie.
So most people are surprised to learn that summer camp is actually a global phenomenon.
In October, Susie and I attended the 11th International Camping Congress in Sochi, Russia. The Congress is held every three years. In 2014, it was in Turkey. In 2020, it will be in China.
The International Camping Fellowship has 4500 members from 95 countries. 1200 members and 30 countries were in attendance.

After a few heavy blogs, I thought you would enjoy a light and happy one. In it, I will share two letters that we received today. The first is from a first-time camper from Beijing. She is 9 years-old and was truly intimidated when she arrived at camp. Jet-lagged and culturally confused, she wondered what she had agreed to.

Like anyone else, sometimes we make mistakes. We believe that part of being a Champion is being willing to admit to your mistakes.

[Note: this is the second blog I have written about the pending departure of 3 of our 4 children to college. OK, I get that I should be writing about camp, but with just 1 week before we send the first one off, I felt like a had a little more to say. Please know that when I am not writing, I am completely focused on camp!!]
One of the few distinct memories of my maternal grandparents home was a framed letter.
