The Best End to the Best Summer Ever
As we say goodbye to campers in our last and biggest session of the summer today, we’re grateful for this past week of sunshine, friendship, and outdoor play!
For many of our campers, this was their first-ever summer camp experience - and also their first-ever time being away from home. We extremely proud of their personal growth as they got to make new friends and grow in their independence.
This session, we welcomed 82 new initiates to the Camp Huawni Tribe:
Kaden C., Carlos G., Cooper G., Brody H., James H., Owen M., John W., Bryson C., Corban C., Beckam H., Sidney L, Jackson L., Harrison M., Lane R., Hudson S., Quinn T., Carnell H., Samuel H., Henry M., Finn R., William R., Colin S., Kyle W., Malakai E., Zavier E., Christian J., Joshua M., Gary S., Mason W., Alex C., Gannon M., Ethan M., Landry C., Aubrielle C., Kasteel G., Wilhelmina K., Mamie Milford, Elaine R., Nelah B., Emma C., Riley G., Faith H., Rosemary H., Makenzie H., Eve M., Wilhelmina S., Addison S., Brynlee W., Riley C., Ally M., Quinn W., Willow C., Harmony H., Ace H., Harper L., Harper N., Kyle P., Scarlett S., Chloe C., Briley G., Emily J., Izabel M., Clara M., Abby R., Loaring R., Kayli B., Campbell, C., Parker C., Mia S, Jaxon G., Reid M., Anna M., Michelle S., Paz D., Kirkley L., Addison V., Gracie M., Madison J., Uma B., Scarlet P., Pearl H., and Daphne P.
During each session, campers elect a Chief and Princess, who are older campers that best embody the Huawni spirit while demonstrating leadership qualities, including compassion and discipline. This session’s Chief and Princess are Ying S. and Josh S.
This marks the end to Summer 2021, but we’re already preparing for next year. We hope to see you in Summer 2022!
