Slice of Life Challenge 8 | my Camp Taconic notebook



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.

  3. You 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. :(
