Yosemite Sierra Summer Camp- 2012

Today we dropped off Nathan to camp- his first time at sleep away camp (for two WHOLE weeks). I was a camper back in the mid 80's at YSSC and then I was the registrar and office manager for 4 years (1999 to 2002). Needless to say, this place holds a special place in my heart.

I always knew I would want to send my own kids here if I got the chance and had the means. Well, I was offered a great deal by the directors and couldn't pass on the opportunity.

We have been talking about camp with Nathan for over 8 months and preparing him for this time away from us. The kid has been counting down the days for over a week and was slightly levitating on the day of drop off.
 This bus has been around since I was a camper!
 Nathan's counselor "Clutch" is cool!!
 Oh yeah- we are happy!!
 Nathan's bed for 2 weeks!

 We say our goodbyes!

Jason in front of the stage- 
a future camper in the making!

    YEAH for YSSC! Did you get your camp letter from his counselor? That is my FAVORITE part!

    My kids are hoping to go to the camp reunion in Feb. Hoping to make it work this time. 12 months sans camp is a long time once they have gone.

      Yes, we got the letter- he nailed Nathan on the head. He described him so well! I was wondering when the reunion was-we will definitely go. Every few days he mentions something in relation to his time at YSSC. it made a HUGE impression on him!
