In actuality, early autumn at Kingswood looks very much like summer at Kingswood, but without the boys. While we have mixed feelings about the passing of the camp season, we appreciate the notion of one thing which makes Kingswood so special is that one cannot have it but for a few weeks per annum. Campers need to get on with schooling and other components of their formal education with the understanding that Kingswood is only one part of the process. If I were a parent reading these words, I would inquire of my son about which values he learned at camp that he can replicate at school, or at least acknowledge to his peers are important to him. Give it a shot; you’ll be surprised about how much “camp” has stuck with him.
OK, End of sermon for now. Rob and I have in front of us our “annual post-camp commentary,” which we will commence as soon as we recondition ourselves to normal life. Camp is exhilarating but exhausting at the same time, trust us. Anyway, our perspective is due and will be coming along one of these days.
Meanwhile, enjoy these photos that were taken a week or so ago.
