  • “Those Were the Days”
    “THOSE WERE THE DAYS” Cape Cod Sea Camps Alumni Magazine Cape Cod Sea Camps Alumni Magazine 1 Dear Friends: Camp is a string of magical moments threaded together into a vibrant tapestry which creates the story of camp each summer. Every moment at camp can potentially change a life, make an impact or create signif- icance. All summer long, but especially at the end of the summer, we hear stories of the undeniable influence the camp experience has had on a child, an individual or a family. For example, an article titled “The Afterglow” written by Stephen Wallace, Resident Director of Counselor Training, for Psychology Today, invokes the following response from a recent CCSC graduate of the Counselor Training Program. The article deals with the role of summer camps in helping young people master the three primary developmental tasks of late childhood and adoles- cence, “Reading ‘The Afterglow’ brings back so many learning experiences and memories of camp! I still think about how much it (camp) helped me grow and prepared me for more independence in my life!“ How are these flashes of camp memories so gripping and profoundly emotional? Maybe they are the result of campers and staff focusing their energies only on the camp experience, forcing distractions of the world outside the “camp bubble” to disappear and sharing each tiny piece of summer camp with genuinely interested adults and peers. The in- tensity of this focus imbues each person to be fully participatory, engaged and seeking ways to create positive connections and contributions with each other and with the camp community as a whole.
