The 1991 Girls Three Weeker: Left to right: Nicole, Heather, Shannon, Janice, Jessie, Lori, Jenny, Sophie and Cathy. |
Here's the journal of the 1991 Girls Three-Week trip.
Former camp director Bob Picken sent to me a couple of weeks ago.
"I was cleaning out another filing cabinet and found the attached journal," Bob says. "I forgot I had it stashed away. I thought it might make a good post on the alumni page. I will have the original brought to camp this summer."

Our memories of these years on trail and at camp dims with the responsibilities of getting older, the challenges of being a parent and our careers - and all the things life throws at us.
It puts a lot of distance from then to now.
What doesn't change is the friendships.
"Trail is a chance for one to find oneself," Nicole Fenton writes on page 23. "It's also a chance to make the kind of friend you don't or almost never make in the city. A friend with whom you can be yourself, perfectly natural. They've seen you at your worst and at your very best."
Enjoy, Bruce
