I can’t believe we are already here on the last day! I’ve just written most of my banquet notes, and it’s made me pretty sad. I won’t get chance to be online after this until I get home, so this is my quick summer summary.
(get it? Summer- summery- summary?)
So yes.
Session One was pretty naff. My cabin were difficult, and I didn’t really know what I was doing- and I was on my own. Then Session Two the cabin were better, though still not awesome, and I was given the wonderful Maddy as a co-co. It was such a lot of fun, but Session three got even better. I had a cabin of fun, unique and crazy girls who just wanted to enjoy themselves… and so I enjoyed myself! Then Maddy had to leave :( But I was given Mary for session Four…. and it’s been the best ever!
I’ve been lucky to have been surrounded by talented and fun people all summer. I have never cried so much, laughed so much or been so much in love.
This place is so far beyond beautiful I can’t even describe it. The ‘Mohawk Spirit’ really is present- as I said to Steph earlier, if I didn’t come back to Mohawk I could not go to another camp. I fully intend to return to camp next year, it’s been the best summer ever and I really feel I’ve learnt a lot about myself and grown up. I’ve made the best friends I could ask for. Erin, Mary, Maddy, Steph, Allie, Katie, Charlotte, Alison, Rachel, Hillary, Eimear, Kira, Christina… to name but a few! I absolutely adore the girls here, counselors and campers. I’m so excited that Steph is going to come visit me in England, and I intend to visit the other British counselors as much as possible.
Without a doubt, the decision to come to Mohawk was the best one I’ve ever made, and I am so sad thinking that some of these girls I’ll never see again. I am not ready to go home yet, I love it here too much.
Tonight is the final Banquet, and I fully expect many many tears.
Mohawkers born and Mohawkers bred, and when we die we’re mohawkers dead.
So RARA for Mohawk, RA RA for Mohawk, RA RA for Mohawk Camp…
