Five Favorite Things

5 things - 1




Each summer, before our campers leave ALC, t5 things -7hey participate in one of our traditions by writing down their five favorite things of their summer.
We cherish the fact that these small reflections of camper life embrace the range of camp life: favorite camp meals, special camp celebrations and traditions, dynamic activities, the natural beauty of camp and bonds of friendship with fellow campers and our outstanding counseling staff. 
5 thing - 2We are happy to share a few of our 2009 campers’ “Five Favorite Things”. 
We are sure you will see the happiness, the sense of community and the value of camp expressed most wonderfully by our campers!

    From a staff member’s perspective my five favorite things:

    (1) Seeing returning campers sharing their love of ALC traditions with new campers!
    (2) Watching talented and accomplished young women serve as counselors with a simple goal of making each day at ALC one of fun and purpose for their campers.
    (3) Working with Sue, Besty and Jean to ensure that 103 years of residential camping continues to enrich the lives of young women.
    (4) Realizing that there are people and places that remain true to their belief statements and through this, we all benefit. And grateful that parents continue to see the value of this rich experience for their daughters.
    (5) As a non-teaching staff member of ALC, to be truly inspired and impressed with the members of our entire camp community! Both in-camp and extended trip campers and counselors welcome a wide variety of challenges and embrace change each summer. Seeing these young women grow to know themselves better through an array of amazing activities, advenutures and experiences both large and small.
