Make new friends, but keep the old.
One is silver, the other is gold.
A circle is round, it has no end.
That's how long, I will be your friend.
A fire burns bright, it warms the heart.
We've been friends, from the very start.
You have one hand, I have the other.
Put them together, we have each other.
Silver is precious, gold is too.
I am precious, and so are you.
You help me and I'll help you,
and together we will see it through.
The sky is blue. The Earth is green,
I can help to keep it clean
Across the land, Across the sea,
Friends forever we will always be.

💛 What an Amazing Operation Muscle! 💛

A huge thank you to our volunteers, alumni, board members, parents, staff, families, and friends who came together this Saturday to help prepare Mashipacong for summer ☀️

From cleaning buildings and setting up tents to organizing supplies and prepping the garden 🥕🍅🥒, so much was accomplished because of your care, teamwork, and dedication to our community.

At camp, yellow beads represent care and respect for community and Operation Muscle was full of both 💛 Thank you for helping keep the camp magic alive year after year!
