To My Camp Counselor Team

It started at the EMbassy
Barak was there too
Two weeks ago, four of you never knew
Exactly what it was you'd gotten into.

Two others were waiting
As for the third, "He'll arrive when he can."
And that is when it all began.

Making beds, teaching rules, learning names, playing games
Putting together our teams and
Building a community under the moonbeams

Staying up late, poker games, ping pong in the shade
Casino, disco, masquerade,
Making friends across cultures was our dream
It might not work to some it did seem

Beach time, campfire, games in the dark
Community service and water park
The puzzle wasn't easy, but you put it together
To make our camp family better and better

Energy, compassion, nursemaid and police
Listening ear, caring friend, sharing treats
What you came here to do I hope you now see
Loving one another makes us all free.

Cheers in the day more cheers at night
We share laughter through tears as we circle up for one more good-night
Feeling good that we've done a lot of things right

I thank you all for a job well done!
