Dear pathfinders and parents, What an experience! This was everybody's first big camporee and it was quite the adventure. I have been to camporees, myself, as a pathfinder and teen counselor before. But this was my first as a director and it has been such a learning experience. I thank the Lord for keeping us all safe, for the good and the bad weather (remember, trials strengthen our faith muscles!), and for blessing us with reminders of His love and care. My thanks and appreciation to the following groups of of people: (i will not mention names because i might forget someone) My deputy directors: thank you for all the time and hard work you put into the planning and implementation of the plans and improvising as needed.
