That first day of summer camp feeling 😎

🚌 On the bus at our new Big Brothers Big Sisters of Central Ohio headquarters at 📍555 S. Front St., Columbus, and off the bus at 🌲 Camp Oty’Okwa!

All campers have been sorted into cabin groups, made community agreements with their cabin to help guide them to be good and respectful bunkmates, explored camp, had a pool party, and enjoyed a pizza with salad lunch and orange chicken with veggies for dinner! 😋

'Twas the night before summer camp, and all through the Dining Hall,
Not a counselor stirred, not a voice could be called.
The first aid bags hung in the hallway with care,
In hopes that the campers soon would be there.

The bunks all stood ready, the cabins swept clean,
Prepared for new friendships and memories unseen.
The Frog Pond lay still beneath the soft evening sky,
As another camp season drew quietly nigh.

And those who had labored through spring's endless prep,
Took one final breath before little sleep left.
For come morning, the laughter and chaos would start,
And camp would again capture each heart 💚
