• Just to say I miss you all! -- Donna, 22:00:33 08/24/07 Fri
  I am still at camp, but now it is a music camp. Waaay different. The is chamber music all day. There are no squirt guns, no one asking for extra goodies, and no cream and sprinkles(Imbal).
  I miss all the laughter and all of you asking for this or that. I love you all and miss you with all my heart.
  Take care and keep in touch.
  If anyone has James email would you send it to me. Thanx.
  Love and kisses to all.

• Camp Farwell Tears -- Missy (:-(), 08:46:18 08/21/07 Tue
  Hey everybody. I hope that everybody had a safe trip home. Camp Farwell is more than a camp. It is a home. We are not just friends but a family. Without Farwell I am a little more sane than my normal self but I will always have room for all of my friends and a place for Farwell in my heart. I hope that everybody will come back next year. I know I will. For those of you who didn't get it, my e-mail is melissagamegirl@optonline.net. To the directors-Camp wouldn't be the same without you. You make Farwell what it is and it is a special place like no other full of love and friendship. I hope everybody will always remember that.

• The End Of Farwell Blues -- Kaitlin K., 16:20:34 08/20/07 Mon
  Hey Everyone!
  
  Well, I'm already back in London, and life is moving at a whirlwind pace. I leave for a hiking trip in whales tomorrow (should be interesting), then orientation on friday, and school starts up next tuesday! ahhhhhh! honestly, the real world has completely snuck up on me.
  I hope that everyone got home safely and that all of the counselors are having fun on their travels. It's quite odd to think of Farwell all closed down and quiet, with just a few people left on the grounds.
  To Shelby, yes i DID give you the right address, I'm sorry for my hesitation!
  To Paola, I will definitely be in Spain in the coming months, we must stay in touch!
  To Cosi, Sandra, Sivan, and Jesse - i'll be in paris (probably) in November! we must hang out!!!!!!!
  To Rubes and the few others that i did not have the chance to say goodbye to on Saturday morning - I'm sooooo sorry, I was sort of bawling and my mother was literally PUSHING me into the car. lol.
  To all counselors and campers - I miss everyone so much, and hope that I'll be back again next summer!!!!!!!! : ) have an amazing year!
  
  xoxoxo,
  Kaitlin
  
  PS - to anyone that I didn't get contact info from, my e-mail is KaitlinMKelly@aol.com. stay in touch!!!! : )

  Hey Farwellites!
  
  I just wanted to drop in and see how everyone is and how camp this summer was, I just moved into University of San Francisco, and it is SO much fun! I have a really cool roommate and there are a lot of really fun people and fun things to do here so it is going to be a blast. I miss you all so much, I can't believe it has been two years since I was there for summer. I hope everyone is good though and that you are all ready for school to start....my classes start this thursday!! Email me if you aren't busy, I will try to keep in touch alittle more as long as I don't have too much to do here at school. Miss you all!!!

• I will miss you all so very much! -- Donna, 21:24:49 08/16/07 Thu
  To each and every one of you,
  You made the summer fun and it went so fast. I grew to love you all and I know it will last. I am so sad to say good-bye for now, but I wish you all the best this coming school year.
  My tears will be there because I got used to seeing you each and every day. You are all my second family. I will have a big hole in my heart where your smiles used to be. I just keep telling myself that God will keep you safe for me.
  Keep in touch with all of us here in VT.
  All my love,
  Donna

• Camp Farwell...Camp Farwell -- Ekena K-A (a.k.a. KA), 15:46:45 07/30/07 Mon
  Hello Girlies,
  I just wanted to post to say i got home safe, but i also feel like someone has ripped my heart into pieces but making me leave camp. usually im there for second session, but i was so thankful to see first session, seeing as for some of you this will be your last year as a camper, cit or staff member. i want to thank everyone for making me feel so at home, and just making my year golden, emotion, and intensly hard to say goodbye, while in the background are tear-filled eyes singing.."oh me oh my we'll get there by and by...." Its strange the differences of being home versus camp, well for one, i don't have to get up so early, but i must say i miss sleeping until after hopper bell (including the hopper) then realizing 5 min. before breakfast that we should get ready and look alive, or for the fact that my shower is only..wait let me measure exactly..10 feet and 7 inches. away from my bedroom door, or for the fact that i can't dance sing and be a fool at the dinner table...hehe green pastures knows..those darn forks, or your mom jokes. And the best part that i miss is the 10 different kinds of bugs that use to swarm around my darn torch, and my cabin would yell at me cause i was making too much noise trying to kill them. Oh Alicia did you find everything you needed? And charlotte you'll enjoy this, last night we had a like 1/2 hour long conversation about scones versus biskits and cookies and what not, it was good fun you should have been there. Now i'm calling biskits scones, and yeah, its funny.
  
  Ellie- I MISS YOU CHICKA!!! Life isn't fun without you!!
  Louise and Charlotte- my 4 week parents i miss you too like crazy as well and i hope to vist as soon as i can
  Louisa- Oh godness, good times, being insane, i miss you too
  Jade- I can't windsurf in my backyeard..its sad..darn grass that gets in the way
  GP- <3 you all
  
  2nd session-ers i miss you!!
  
  Becca- I still want to be in your musical, and i want to learn the songs, and have a script, and i still want the part as Jojo, one true voice in the universe...
  
  And to everyone else, i miss you and im trying to find a time that i can come visit!! Write me and i'll write back
  Loads of hugs and kisses!
  XOXO
  (Please post this on the front porch)

• The War Canoe Race -- Sylvia, 20:14:02 08/12/07 Sun
  The War Canoes were plying the waters of Halls Lake this afternoon with campers and staff forming two teams rowing against each other.
  
  Other lake boating traffic took to shore and watched the two canoes glide smoothly to the far side about mid-lake with most of the 30 oars moving in unison and the counselors chanting a count. They stopped, lined up, and counselors in kayaks checked their position and gave the signal.
  
  The sight and sense of an ancient tradition and the excitement of the competition made another afternoon at Farwell fun and memorable.

• Hey -- Amina, 12:53:04 08/11/07 Sat
  Hey everyone, I hope everyone is well at camp. I am beginning my last adventure for the summer today. I am going back to Kenya to visit my family. It should be pretty cool my friend (and Sophie of course)are coming with. And I know the language pretty well. I am going for over 3 weeks which is a good amount of time. It will be nice to go back to Kenya where I lived for a while and see my family. But at least it will keep me busy. I've been missing Farwell more and more each day. But I am positive I will come back next year. But until then I hope you all have a wonderful time with you upcoming events at camp. Love always amina.

• Sylvia's Ramblings -- Sylvia, 15:07:36 08/10/07 Fri
  We are enjoying a beautiful sunny afternoon with a light breeze and temperature creeping up to eighty in the sun. It's an afternoon of great camping weather much like yesterday with the lake looking colorful with the ski boat alternately pulling skiers and campers on the tube, and the banana boat and the red and yellow and blue kayaks skillfully maneuvering in groups on the water accompanied by squeals of laughter from the swimming area water slide.
  
  The Horse Show today gave our riders a chance to be judged by a professional area judge. Horses and riders looked great and performed well.
  
  Two of Camp Farwell's past cooks, Dot and Sue, stopped by for a visit and had lunch with us today.
  If you were here during their reigns over the Farwell Kitchen you must remember the early morning aroma of Dot's coffee cake - a very nice wakeup call - and the pleasure of Sue's culinary specialties.
  
  Tomorrow campers visit an area water park for a breakaway of sun and fun of a different kind.
  
  Then Sunday the festivities of the last week of camp begin, ending with Parents Day on Friday, Aug. 17th when Bob and Charyl will have completed their 30th summer at Farwell.
  
  Camp is on EDST and parents are asked not to arrive on Parents Day before 1:30 p.m. Demonstrations begin at 2:00 p.m. with breaks for parents to participate in water and land sports.
  
  The day will end with dinner on the front porch of the lodge and a skiing demonstration followed by a play performed in the pavilion.
  
  We look forward to seeing you.

• Dinner tonight was prepared by members of our International Staff -- Sylvia, 18:43:22 08/08/07 Wed
  Inbal, Sivan, and Mor prepared an Israelian meal,
  Shakshuka, which combines various foods in an interesting way for a colorful and tasty dish, accompanied with spiced Humus.
  
  Louise and Jessi added a French touch to the meal with baquette and cheese and a dessert of crepes with a choice of strawberries or chocolate.
  
  Thanks girls, it was delicious and a delightful addition to our Farwell cuisine.

The good news is that me and allison linke are trying to arrange a visit so if we could pull it off that would be AMAZING!! i hope everyone is having a great start to second session and i hope to see you soon!

  Last campfire as usual was the saddest night at camp, and it made me realize how much fun I had during the past five weeks. The drive up made me think about camp.I met the greatest people this summer and got closer to people from last year. The counselors were amazing, and made first session a blast. I want to say to the second session campers your in for an amazing time.
  
  I'd like to say thanks and i miss you to
  Madison-i'm coming to Australia in your suitcase

• Thank you Camp Farwell! -- Dru Oren, 10:50:15 07/30/07 Mon
  To all campers, counselors, CIT's and directors,
  Thank you for giving us such a wonderful place! Our daughter, Piper, misses you all! This was the first overnight camp for her - and us, and although we missed her terribly, it was wonderful to see her new-found skills - horseback riding, kayaking and international friend making! Camp Farwell IS a special place indeed. She'll see you next year, and until then, we send you all a fond hello.

I miss all the fun i had and I also miss all of the great people i met when i was there! This summer at camp farwell was probably the funnest one i have ever had! I wish i got to stay longer! I dont know how i am going to survive the rest of the summer without camp!! I have so many good memories from the 2 weeks i was there! Camp Farwell is a great place because it is a place where u can just be yourself and have soooooo much fun and it doesnt really matter what anyone thinks of u.....it just makes me feel so comfortable to know that i have a place where i can just be myself(thats the total opposite of like school)At camp you're not trying to impress anyone...maybe the few hot guy counslers but no pressure is put upon your shoulders. I love that!!!! Miss you guys tons!!! Have a fun rest of the summer u lucky guys who r still at camp farwell!!! Luv ya lots!!!!

  Like Chelsea said, thanks for a fabulous weekend. I had sooo much fun. Thanks to the directors for letting us come, to the CITs for adopting us, to returners for being so welcoming, to Hideaway for letting us crash, and to all the new staff for being so kind and fun to hang out with. I hope the rest of your summer is great- I wish I could join you!

  I've only been home from farwell for a little over 24 hours and I already miss all of you guys. To the campers who are still there I am insanely jealous and hope you had fun at whales tales.
  
  The rest of the summer will not be nearly as fun as my two weeks under the pines. No over played Grease and Shaniah on the Juke box, no singing into utensils with Jen and Mary, no Ur mom jokes with Elena, Ellie, Mary, Alicia, and Telmo...what will I find to keep me busy for the rest of the summer!

Memories come flooding back and when I look at all the photos I feel a real mix of emotions and even a tear in the eye. I always find myself saying "one of these days" and when I read about all the traditions that are still carried out, I really feel the "pull". Less of the sentimentality though, a thought for the day from my time as a counselor and director was "Don't cry because it's over, smile because it happened". A good one I think. Ra Ra Camp Farwell as always.
  P.S I think my husband thinks I'm crazy when I get so excited at all the photos. He did however say tonight that one day he'd love to see it all in reality. I'm certainly going to hold him to that!!!

  Today is an away day.
  Most of the campers will see the new movie, "Harry Potter" for which they were loudly enthusiastic when the announcement was made. However, some have opted to visit a local hands-on museum that is a lot of fun. Educational, too, but that's best kept secret, I think.
  
  A few staff who are not fans of Harry (can you imagine?) will remain in camp on regular Friday routine. I am one of those :). A visit with the three new kids less than a week old in the Petting Zoo will be fun.

  A memorable feast...
  
  We were treated to a delicious Sunday Roast by our counselors from Great Britain which they prepared for our noon meal on Wednesday.
  
  Charlotte O., Jade, F., Jennifer G., Lindsey W., Louisa C., Becky J., Natasha T., and Hannah W. contributed their awesome talents to the preparation and serving of beef, carrots, roast potatoes, mint sauce, gravy, parsnips, Yorkshire pudding and for desert, melt-in-your-mouth bread and butter pudding.
  
  ...a fitting and delicious representation of international customs and cuisine which was enjoyed by all.
