Happy Thanksgiving

November 26, 2014 by Don Gentle

We are so thankful for all of you!  It would not be High Rocks without ALL of you.  This place would just be a cold, wet, rock…  High Rocks is the culmination of all the people who have come to put their heart here; even if just for a moment.  It’s not the thousand plus acres (well maybe a little), the horses, the lake, or even all the cool activities.  It’s the people that come here to enjoy it; learn; and even grow here.

It takes a village… Our parents, campers, staff, food service, excavator, recycle man, and even the health department all make it awesome!  A community is made of its people, and you are all wonderful!

I have come to realize that High Rocks truly is a place to be yourself.  No one fits in a pre-cut mold here.  I know you may hear that all the time, but I am not using those words lightly.  High Rocks truly lets you be yourself. We are very thankful for that!

What an incredible time of year…even for a camp director :)!  Believe it or not, there is only about six weeks where you feel like you are working part time.  I make a joke to my friends and family that I only work part time in the winter since at typical day at camp is about 15 hours and I am only working eight most days.  I will say late November and December is really a low stress time of year.

Anyhow, have a fantastic Thanksgiving!  We are so thankful for all of you!

From all of us here at High Rocks.
