Thank you to Nicola Gacy for writing this touching tribute to Mountain Friends Camp, published in the latest Western Friend Wire print and online magazine.
"Through camp, I developed a deep love for the outdoors, long-term friendships, and intergenerational connections. These experiences helped me see the true importance of performing acts of service for others.

I believe that investing in communities like MFC is essential for supporting Quaker youth. As an adolescent, it is vital to have a space created by and for your peers—a place where you can build a long-lasting identity rooted in mutual love. "

In her article "An Identity Rooted in Mutual Love" former camper Nicola Gacy writes "Mountain Friends Camp is a safe place to be a Quaker and a safe place to not be a Quaker. MFC was essential in forming my identity as a Quaker not only through the values implemented in camp but also the sense of freedom and autonomy to come to my own conclusions about what being Quaker meant to me."
