It is always great to have former counselors pay a visit to Camp.  Unfortunately, we will all reach a point when we can no longer return to Summer Camp, whether it is because of a big move or college graduation or a new job opportunity.  One generation heads out into the world as another one starts their own Camp memories.  Fortunately, you can always come back.  We had a quite a few visitors at Winter Camp.  Not only did we have over 40 Ocky, Matolly, and Stockwell staff members volunteer to come and work at Winter Camp, we also had some names from the past swing by for a visit.  Former Ocky Waterfront Director, Anthony Orange, came all the way from New Zealand to say hello.  Kayla Borden, Lauren Correia, and Jen Ping all stopped by for the Camp Dance.  And Ross Williamson, who is currently a teacher in Korea, was home for the Holidays and came out to see his old Camp friends (and quite a few of his former campers who are now staff).  It was great to see campers and counselors run up to say hi to these folks.  It sure put a big smile on their faces, as well!  It just goes to show you that you never really leave Camp.  You can always find your way back!
