in no particular order:
midnight dining hall snacks, camp keys, nalgene, the MAC, bombsticks, free snack item and water each day, the waterpark, SWAT, Jim Talley, hemp, cabins, campers, meds and more meds, changing to plan B in .5 seconds, not knowing plan B but making it up on the spot, dances, guitars, the band, evening activites, Eagle's Wings, DJ booth, working the utter chaos/intense bonding time that is canteen, thinking I couldn't come back and starting summer number 5, getting to work with my sister all summer, the blob, paintball, caffeine, sunshine, remembering being a camper since 3rd grade, staying up late and getting up early and somehow making it to rest time, rest time, traditions, answered prayers, knowing it's real, songs that have been around since I was a camper, the getaway, ice cream snickers, sunday nights, nametags, pictures, camo shorts, bonds that aren't broken, basketball shorts, lifeguarding, pool parties with 80s music, seeing how things have changed and knowing that nothing's really changed, making friends for life (such as the ones pictured), curriculum, Robyn and her lists, friends, memories, rain, turner steps, volunteers, staff bridge, friday cleaning and friday hammonds, changed hearts, weekend excursions, Rawkfist, capture the flag, stories that will never die, serenading, getting out of my comfort zone, 4th of July festivities, having my birthday in the summer, staff devo, Terri Ford and her sense of humor, living in the moment, snowcones, Grits, coming out of my shell, hand-made jewelry all year round, seeing kids go from discovery camp to senior high, living for someone else everyday, Goatman, Joel calling me Missy, everyone else calling me Mel, golf carts, knock-out, LINKs, karen and her special staff meals, my bosses, the thought of bringing my kids back someday, seeing the stars at night, knowing God does, knowing God loves and not knowing what's next...and.......
