Bean loves camp and getting out in nature.
We Love CAMP!
Shaggy & Plop Love Camp!
Today is a day set apart to share our love for camp. Not just Westwind, although we are biased that we have the best and most amazing camp but to share the love of the camp experience. We love camp because we get to see people reconnect with one another and and spend time in the outdoors. Westwind embraces diversity, encourages community and loves seeing campers exploring the world around them.
Campers Love Camp!
Breezy has grown up exploring at camp and this passion goes with him everywhere he goes.
You can look at the pictures and see the pure joy on campers faces as they kayak for the first time or sit and watch the sunset with their new friends or cook their dinner over a fire. When we ask campers why they love camp we get response like;
“I love my counselors”
“I love being creative at camp”
“I love the food!”
“I love exploring at camp.”
“I love meeting new friends.”
“I love going hiking!”
Sitka loves sharing his passion for sustainability with campers.
Staff Love Camp!
Macaroni, Shark and Sparrow; friends for life thanks to Camp.
Many of the staff have been campers before becoming staff members. Summer staff talk about wanting to create the magic they experienced as campers and consider this a privilege. Where else do you see young adults scrubbing dishes for 175 people singing and laughing and never once complaining? The personal growth we see in camp staff is hard to describe or measure but we see it and hear it from them. They feel better prepared for college because they have learned how to live in a community. Camp staff love camp because they feel like their best and most authentic self at camp.
