I just wanted to take a moment of your time to say hello and thank you for making Luke’s summer so successful. He had a tremendous time at Birchmont and I know he was sad to leave such a blissful haven. I truly recognize all the small and large “things” that you all do behind the scenes to make it all work. Lastly, please thank the camp photographer. Her pictures were a huge high for me each day and helped me get through 2 sessions.
All three of my kids are very much looking forward to see everyone again. I am very happy to have them in your hands during the summer. It is because of Camp Birchmont that they all have a very positive attitude towards the U.S., their people and their values.
Thank you so much for this and for the wise words! Please send all of camp leadership our profound gratitude for giving our daughter and all the kids at Birchmont the joy and freedom of being kids this summer after a really really long 16 months. We miss Noelle so much but could not be more grateful for the ability to send her to a place as special as Birchmont, where she is with special friends in a very special place.
We appreciate all you do, especially this summer, to let kids be kids and make memories and friendships of a lifetime.
Words cannot express all of our appreciation for having Morgan summer after summer up in New Hampshire.
She had an absolutely amazing time this July and is quite frankly sad to be home. It was extra special having her own sisters and many of the kids who she has grown up with since the age of 8 at camp with her. It all came full circle this July by living with the Pio Girls.
We thank you for having her. We thank you for supporting and encouraging her. We thank you for letting her be a kid. We thank you for giving her so much including friendships that she will continue to cherish for a lifetime and skills to utilize to be the best Morgan she can be.
Today actually starts a new adventure for Morgan. Jeff and Morgan just left for a flight out west to visit colleges.
Have a wonderful second session. Thank you again and again.
…Ok. What did you do with Declan? The Declan that came home yesterday made his bed this morning without me asking, beat me in tennis 6-2, 6-2, is more mature and independent, doesn’t care about electronics, etc etc. He’s not happy to be home and wants to go back to camp “right now.” I love it! Thank you and everyone up there for an incredible summer! Early bird registration complete. Counting down til next summer!!
