The realization is setting in that this is indeed our last day together at camp. We even had to say goodbye to one camper that left a day early. However, at breakfast, conversations were overheard concerning making the most of the last day and make it the best yet. What a great mentality to have! Starting the day off in a positive manner was a speaker named Craig. Craig discussed the importance of maintaining stability in your life and willingness to seek change when stuck in a rut of routine. The presentation involved a lot of movement, inspirational messages and the campers even left with a rose. After lunch at the hotel, we participated in our final group reflections and evaluating our own goals for camp. The groups then presented their thoughts to the camp. Then it was off to pack and the final time spent in the village. In the evening, we had a closing ceremony and had a final disco. It was a mixture of emotions. Many campers were both happy to be having fun with their friends but also sad to know they will be leaving tomorrow. We learned a great deal over the past two weeks about ourselves, our new friends and the necessary steps and skills it takes to become a leader. Hopefully we will see each other again!

Nice weather for most of the day -- rain in the late aftenoon and evening.
