"I laugh a lot here. It's really nice." This was the simple response from a camper to 'how's your weekend going?' on Saturday night while everyone was heading into dinner during our Winter Connect retreat.
Campers from across our BCC community and many of this past summer's staff members came together to enjoy a winter weekend at camp. Timely snowfall on Friday night meant that the sledding hill was open constantly and there was never a shortage of snow gaga ball, broomball, or going on winter hikes. Inside the dining hall the fire was roaring, the hot chocolate was flowing, and groups of campers were crafting, playing board games, and enjoying time together.
The theme for the weekend was "Just Be." Large and small group sessions were dedicated to reflecting on what it means to be authentically ourselves. The theme was also appropriate as everyone took time to step away from the routines of home to relax and have fun surrounded by friends and nature.
Winter Connect is always a special time as campers reunite from the past summer and make plans for the upcoming summer. As campers were departing on Sunday, verbal check-ins were frequently heard, "See you Session Six?" "Yes! Can't wait!"
We had the best weekend TOGETHER and we can't wait to see everyone from our BCC family when summer camp kicks off in just a few short months!
