Before this summer, I had never been to sleep away camp. I have to admit that at first I was a little nervous but my friends and cousins had told me great things and I was mostly excited. The Pines went beyond what they had told me. Not only were the activities fun, I made a whole cabin full of new friends and grew in my faith. The counselors were very supportive and good role models as well as hilarious and fun. I feel like I grew in my faith a lot because everyday, along with the activities, I was learning new things about my faith and experiencing my faith more deeply than ever before. Everything about my Pines experience was amazing and my only regret is not going sooner!
