Families are the compass that guide us. They are the inspiration to reach great heights, and our comfort when we occasionally falter. -- Brad Henry

Kahdalea

Our youngest attended her first ever summer camp where she would be gone for two weeks!  It's a Catholic/Christian based camp in Brevard, NC.



Her cabin was high on a hill up these steps.  While it may not look tough, that climb to just drop her off made my calves burn for three days!



Inside the cabin with her group.  Her friends were from Florida, Texas, Georgia, and Louisiana, with very few from SC.  Her counselor was from France.


This is the dining hall.  It's definitely black bear country because we saw a momma bear and her cub on the way here.



Her cabin mates and counselors on church day.


 Some evenings were spent around the campfire (when it wasn't raining).



Meals and snacks were healthy, but they did get burgers on Saturdays!  That was her favorite!



The campers can sign up for whatever activities they want..hiking, backpack camping, horseback riding, archery, canoeing, sports, theatre, pottery/crafts, etc.  Here's a pic before one of their hikes.


The closing of each day was spent in reflection and comradery.  


One of the nights they spent watching the sunset.  No phones, no computers, just peace and a guitar, like the Sound of Music.
