the buzz
fall 2019
Hello Hivers! I hope you are as excited as I am to read this edition of the Buzz. Reading your memories, the memories of counselors, and looking at all the beautiful photographs of our summer gives me a slice of camp right here in my living room. My mind drifts back to summer days we all spent together learning, growing and having so much fun — it fun — it conjures so many of the things I love about camp: • I love Rainbow’s End because I get to sit quietly with you all. We dream about the week we just had and think about all the ways we could be better in the coming week week — be — be a better friend, work on a new rank, and more.
remembering Who you are at camp will help you be the person you want to be at school, home, and in your communities. • I love walking and talking with you all on our way to a meal, rest hours, or activities. In these moments I get to know each of you better. • I love assembly because we get to sing our hearts out. When we sing together it brings us together as a community through music.
• I love meals with you all all — we — we get to meet new friends, sing new songs and always try to come up with a great “QUESTION OF THE DAY!” • I love tattoo tattoo — my — my favorite bugle call at camp. The long-lasting melody is what brings you back to your tent family to bring another day of camp to an end with thoughtful conversations where we get to hear how each person is doing, how we can applaud them, and how we can support each other in the coming days. I know as I read through the Buzz, I will find more memories that will make me smile and think, “Yes, I love that about camp too!” Now, I am curious what you would add to this list? Be well and keep your wonderful camp self and all your memories close to your heart throughout the winter winter — remembering — remembering who you are at camp will help you be the person you want to be at school, home, and in your communities. Aloha to each of you, Kathy Plunkett Director of Aloha Hive
