Ben: Camp Myrtlewood (Day 11, Prom)
This morning I was woken up by wake up call, the song choice was pretty fitting as today is prom. I stayed in bed for a bit, trying to convince my brain and body to get up and moving for the day. I had stayed up later than I had wanted to the night before, […]
J.: Camp Myrtlewood (Day 10)
As a staffer, today was the first day that I didn’t have a workshop to run, a panel to be on, or an event to facilitate. So after Breakfast, Morning Meeting and my (almost) daily morning dip in the creek, I set about to wander around camp and take photos of various portions of a […]
Lily: Camp Myrtlewood (Day 9, Art Show)

Hannah: Camp Myrtlewood (Day 8, Seeing Seen)

Kiki: Camp Myrtlewood (Day 2)
My day started off kind of mellow, as mornings at camp usually do. At breakfast I sat with my friends in the lodge because I was too chilly to be outdoors (it’s hard to adjust to the damp weather when you come from the desert). As I was getting ready to walk over to the […]
Finn: Camp Myrtlewood (Day1)
