Final
Ceremony
Hi, my name is Eli Ross, I’m in Jr. Sequoia and this is my 1st year as part of the Camp Laurel family. When I first arrived, I heard the phrase living ‘10 for 2’ where you live 10 months out of the year for 2 months at camp. I didn’t understand it at first, but my Laurel experience enlightened me to that idea.
Acadia
Before coming to Laurel I had already been to a different 7-week camp, but coming here I still wasn’t sure what to expect. I remember taking my first step off the bus thinking “will this be my true home away from home?” It was a new opportunity for me, so when the opening campfire came around I realized what a big family we are. Even when I was down my other Sequoia brothers were there to pick me up. (*Throw up the Sequoia S*)

Flash forward six weeks to College Days and we are split in two, but no matter how intense the activities can be, your opponents are still your brothers and sisters. That’s one big family, and one awesome home for me.
