Summer Camp 2024
A message from our Camp Director
What happened to 2023? Blink and you may have missed it! Now here we are staffing up and preparing to register campers for the 2024 summer season. Where does the time go?
As a parent, it doesn’t seem to slow down. Days become hours, which become minutes, which become seconds. Before you know it, another year has passed.
That’s true of the world in which we live as well. Everything moves at such a pace that we miss some of the most amazing things. Things that can provide a sense of wonder, of solace, of peace, of joy, of connection to the world around us.
Camp Director, Matt Cornish with his wife, Melissa, and their two childen.
One of the things I love most about summer camp, is the way it subverts that pace. While a day at camp is more like a week in the regular world, we at CBC look for the opportunity to help our campers and our staff savor the time they are having with one another in this beautiful big backyard of ours. A way to hold the moments, no matter how briefly, to cultivate a sense of connection: with nature, with one another, with ourselves.
We invite each camper and staff member, and even you, to stop and wonder at, as William Blake once said, the world in a grain of sand. In doing so, perhaps we can embrace the small role we play in a much larger work, and realize that what binds us together is far stronger than what divides us.
And we can share an ice pop or two in the process.
We can’t wait to see you this summer and beyond!
