Becoming part of the Plantation Family

Posted By: Michelle Welsh

When campers and Plantation staff enter the Plantation world each summer they actually become a part of something special, they become part of family.   It is easy to say that anywhere one goes they meet people and make new friends. But at Plantation, the people you meet and spend three and a half weeks with become not only friends but your fort building buddies, your canoe camp pals, swimming pool mates, your find as many frogs as you can at Frog Village companions, and your role models, but most of all those people become your family.

In our Plantation family there is always someone to run through the meadow with, someone who wants to participate in the same activity that you do, someone who wants to sing at the top of their lungs during morning singing with you, someone wants to play flashlight tag with, someone who will give you a smile when you need one, someone who will teach you something new, and most of all there is always someone who cares about you. That’s why Plantation is such a special place. Our family is made up of many creative, unique, artistic, enthusiastic, friendly, generous, kind, and amazing people who all care about each other.

The past two summers I have met many of the members of the Plantation family and this summer I am excited to introduce a member of my own family into the Plantation family, my younger sister Melissa. Ever since I came to Plantation I have wanted to share this wonderful camp experience with her and I am thrilled that she will be able to experience the Plantation magic as well.

Each summer we are lucky enough to have many new campers and counselors the Plantation family, which has been accepting members since 1952. We are very excited about the summer of 2011 and having you become a part of our family! See ya real soon!

Can't wait to have you back, Michelle....and how great that your sister will be here too!
