When I was at Camp Taconic, I kept a notebook under my bed in an old wooden crate salvaged from the dining hall. Inside my notebook, I collected this and that.
- camp brochures
- my first note from Jim
- the Camp Taconic handbook for counselors
- goals for the summer
- notes from my team members
- jots from books I read
- photos
- bible verses
- quotes
- names and addresses of all my campers
- letters from campers
- photocopies of cards from directors to our team
- a list composed by Ryan about funny things that happened over the summer
With my grade 4 students, I would often tell them that when they were older, they would enjoy pulling out their notebooks and thinking back. It's exactly what I did with my old camp notebook! I have many memories in my head, but walking through the notebook brought back many more.
Looks like a moment in your life that you would never want to forget!
ReplyDeleteYou did very well without the computer, Loralee-love the story in pics!
ReplyDeleteYou sound like you are so good at keeping things. I threw out a LOT of stuff when John and I got married. I may regret that in the future. :(
