All parents want their children to someday make the world a better place, it's good to know that they already are. Thanks.

In your story you wrote, "Part of me was expecting this event to be forced or awkward, but I couldn't have been more wrong." This made me chuckle a little, because you are not alone in your assumptions. It is often hard for individuals who have never been to our camp to understand the full scope and power of these week long events. The PK Adventure was easy for us to put on, because all we did was bring a small part of the magic that happens at camp to Norris. If you thought this day was great, I challenge you to spend a week with these brave and amazing children. They will change your life. Thanks again!
