Another Session of Success!

Pfeifer Camp had it's 117th graduation yesterday afternoon. The weather outside may have been overcast and a bit drizzly.... but inside the classroom everyone was all smiles! Speaker Tyler Thompson was wonderful and kept everyone engaged in his speech as he did a wonderful job articulating all the hard work the kids do to graduate, and how equally hard their counselors and teachers work to help them be the best version of themselves. I was like a proud momma with my girls as I watched them cross to receive their medal and certificate of achievement. Two of my girls were also chosen as class speakers and they did wonderfully. One of the best lines by my camper, Colleen, was "if you ever meet the teachers you would be like OMG! They are awesome!" The entire audience laughed. It was precious and made me well up because of the new found confidence Colleen has found while being nurtured at camp. All the girls still have a lot of work to do, but they have achieved so much in the last five weeks. I am so glad to get to see them finish the year out at their regular schools.

  Here are a couple of pictures I wanted to share. One was given to me at the end of the fourth week. The one with my name in the middle was a part of an activity I like to call, "Compliment Nametags" where we each pass the papers around with our name on it and everyone writes a compliment on it. I put little pieces of paper over parts where someone put down their phone number or last name (for privacy's sake). 

One of my fav comments is "Lets Get Funky" by Lyndsi
