July's hot sun against my face, my legs mosquito bitten and bruised, hair tangled from the wind, and the blisters from my chacos.

A red dinning hall where we would, eat, pray, laugh and sing.

The steap stairs up the grassy hill I tripped down.

Rushing creak probably filled with bits of popsicle stick boats.

The cabins whose top bunks I slept in, whose screen windows drenched you with any rain or dew.

Things covered in the sand glitter of the Micah you can't seem to outrun.

The lake I learned to canoe in, with my clothes pin I always forgot.

Up the way on a gravel road I fell down on a mountain bike.

The barn I learned to ride horses, down the road from the chapel, up the hill from the dance hall, next to my archery range, across from the gym climbing wall, whose top I haven't reached yet.

The tennis court next to the hidden water fall where I got my first bee sting.

The big bell on the porch which still rings in my dreams, at the camp where I learned to love.
