What an incredible final week we just had! Rather than slowing down at the end, we picked up speed and made the most of every single moment, solidifying friendships and making memories that will carry us through until we're reunited on the shores of Blue Lake. The buses rolled out this morning with teary-eyed campers aboard. It's never easy saying goodby. When camp comes to an end, we sadly pack our duffels and say farewell to our "summer home". The place where we can truly be ourselves, explore new interests and develop incredible friendships. The treasure-trove of memories, lifelong friendships and a renewed sense of confidence that Agawak fosters goes with us where ever we go! There will be many different ways your camper will bring the Agawak spirit home with them. Humming Agawak tunes, exploring a new athletic or artistic passion, Blue & White cheers, wearing their favorite worn Agawak swag and more. Agawak affords us all the opportunity to be the best version of ourselves. We've had an incredible summer together on beautiful Blue Lake and we would not have had such a special summer without every single person here who made our puzzle complete. 

To our staff: Thank you for all of your spirit, hard work and dedication. To our families: Thank you for allowing us to spend time with your wonderful children. Please know that we recognize the tremendous leap of faith on your part and strive every day to earn your trust.  And to our Campers: You are the reason we do what we do. Seeing your smiling faces and listening to your laughter and silly stories all summer fills our hearts with joy that we can’t sufficiently describe.  While we miss our campers and staff, at  Agawak, we always choose our attitudes. Rather than being sad that the summer of 2022 is over, we are excited the countdown to summer 2023 has already begun. See you in June.

Full speed ahead & smile on!
