Our staff and break campers gathered this morning to commemorate the 2 year anniversary of Hurricane Helene. We met on the island, in front of the tree we planted last year in the place where an old oak had stood for generations. As a group, we remembered all those affected by the storm, recognized the recovery work still to be done in our region, and were grateful for or our community and for the scholarships we have been able to offer to campers affected by Helene. 2 of of our campers read to us from Psalm 46, reminding us that God is our refuge and strength. We miss our old oak, gone in the storm, but we look ahead to the campers and visitors who will be greeted by the new one. ❤️
