…This made me think about how important places like camp are for bringing people together-creating community and social contact, it’s a place to create and maintain those strong social bonds. Camp can play a great role in working against loneliness into the future.
Sharing a [sad] summer decision
Today we need to share with you a difficult decision: we are cancelling our 2020 summer youth programs. For the first time in seventy years, the cabins will be empty of campers and counselors. Mosquito Hollow will be far too hollow without the sounds of popping kernels and raised songs.
