We have reached the apex of the week. Tomorrow is the last day; the day the boys' camp comes for field day, the day we present certificates of appreciation and participation, and the day we watch a slideshow and see just how far we've come. After the excitement of yesterday and with the preparations being made for tomorrow's big activities, today felt more relaxed.
Today the girls talked about their futures and planning ahead to get the best results. Counselors and staff led sessions that asked girls to imagine themselves in 10 years and draw a picture of what they expect to be or do. A lot of girls drew lawyers and doctors which was very encouraging since those are things that are usually seen as men's jobs. A few things that were taught earlier in the week came full circle as the campers made purses and used their sewing skills they'd learned when they made reusable menstrual pads on Tuesday.

Jacque leads 'Red Light, Green Light'! It's amazing the things we can take for granted, not many of our girls had ever seen a traffic light in real life
