🌈Every summer there are a handful of pictures that when I see them, they just fill me up with all the good that is TCTW. This is one of them. Bracelets seem so simple, yet carry so many feelings— feeling loved… https://t.co/cfuRq3N1ML
Oliver was also going to staff on second trip this summer, and it’s his 20th anniversary of going out west, too. He was on first trip the summer of 2000. I’ll try to list all the years he has been out west as… https://t.co/G8q8Lu37JD
20 years ago, on a hot Monday in July, I stepped on to Woodstock for the first time. I had never been to an overnight camp before and I was all kinds of anxious. Those of you who know me now probably can’t imagine… https://t.co/FWbPJK3R6m
I got the perfect dose of TCTW this weekend hanging out with these past staff mixed in with my family at a place I love.
If you’re struggling with how different things may feel right now, this is just a little… https://t.co/jKEp8vKKqD

If you would have asked me 8 years ago when I led my first trip as director, what I thought y’all would remember most about me, no way I would have thought the sound of my voice waking you up. Now, it really is… https://t.co/tUxJKRlgcB
One of my favorite memories was exploring San Francisco. I remember how hilly it was, but I loved days where we got to explore because I got to bond with people not on my van and get to know new places… https://t.co/Lm1wMxKqHw

❣️DISNEYLAND❣️
While we saw beautiful, incredible parks and places, Disneyland was still so incredibly ~✨MaGiCaL✨~. I cried of joy at least 5 times that day, rode a gazillion rides, and fell asleep on the streets of… https://t.co/PShc1Mf8pa
