Meteorites: A Heartfelt Ode to Our Camp’s Guiding Stars
In the story of Shooting Star Adventures, there’s this chapter that’s just brimming with gratitude and nostalgia. It’s about our Senior Staff and Mentors – those who painted the very soul of our camp with their passion. These names? They’re not just words; they’re a living piece of our history, etched with laughter, challenges overcome, and countless shared moments. With a full heart, we’ve decided to retire these names, not as a farewell, but as a timeless salute to the magic they infused into our campfire tales. It’s more than a nod; it’s a standing ovation for the indelible mark they’ve left on the very essence of Shooting Star Adventures. 🌟💙
