Session 3 Summer Tree

Yesterday Camp gathered around the boughs of the Summer Tree as campers and staff got a chance to speak what was on their hearts. Here’s a snippet of what was shared yesterday at Session 3 Summer Tree….the words speak for themselves.

Sister, I love you…so glad you are here.

Tate…you’re the best brother I cold ever ask for. You can be a pain in the butt, but I love you.

Asher…you are a really good brother.

Alex, you are always there for me when I need some love.

Sister…you really help me out.

Sloan, you are the best brother ever and are always there for me.

Thank you Mack in Suite Gum Suite for helping me belong in my first year at Camp.

Shout out to Anotonella…you always help me work through problems and to Mariella for helping me get out of the sand pit.

Thank you to Camp Huawni and the whole Honeysuckle Hollow gang for making this summer very special.

To my brother, no matter how much I shout at him he will always shout for me.

Avery..you are like my little sister. Please come back and work on Staff…it’s really great!

Shout out to Riley for being the best little sister ever.

I’ve been here for 8 years and this has been my best year for lots of reasons.

Shout out to Camp for being a good second home for 8 years and hopefully more.

I’ve never had this much fun in my life – 1st Year Camper

Roses are red, violets are blue, Kiefer is awesome, and so are you Papa Bear.

[My counselor is so great] that he actually destroyed the death star.

To my baby brother, I love you so much.

Huawni is a great place for me..it’s where I can be myself.

I was nervous about making friends being an older 1st year camper, but I’ve made such great friends here.

Shout out to Sadie for being the heart and soul of Caddo!

Camp is amazing. I’m thankful for everything.

Camp is about the people around you and getting to know and love everyone.

I can’t tell you how much I love this Camp and have for a long time. The Men’s Staff were amazing.

Camp is a place to be yourself, and everyone can accept you for who you are.

West Side, you guys led well. Leadership isn’t easy, and I saw you learn a lot about yourselves and each other. It’s about making a difference in the world, and I saw that in you. -BPW Counselor

Camp helped me grow and figure out who I am. – 1st Year Camper

Huawni Staff…you really do make Camp what it is, your vide this year was really great.

The thread running over and over this session included:

1. Brothers and sisters showing care for one another

2. Campers feel comfortable at Huawni and have the space to know who they truly are.

3. Campers loved their counselors and counselors were a big reason this session was special.

Well, that is a wrap for Session 3! Thank you Session 3 Families for sharing your kiddos with us. Our desire is for all our campers and staff to leave our gates today knowing their true significance and purpose, and based upon the words of our campers yesterday…this is happening! We are so grateful and honored to be a part of your child’s growing up!
