Here's Where I Stand.

I caught an awesome movie tonight: CAMP. Even though I'm 33 and would never even brave sober karaoke (though I will take snaps for sometimes being a loud singer -- and I'm always First Team All-Lip Sync!), I could see me reflected in this movie. The reality is, you could too. You could see you, that is. :o) We all could... see ourselves. There's a piece of every one of us that goes through "CAMP" and what it stands for and what it means for us developmentally. So, I'm singing its praises altogether -- and even blogging about it! Now, THAT's somethin'!

I've been following Ed Wirtz' Happy Thoughts and she's getting ready to run SEP at the UofO. It's a camp in my personal story -- like any other camp really -- where kids get to be normal because they're with their peers doing what they love. While it's technically the same experience anywhere, it's not when YOU'RE the kid and when YOU'RE THERE. It's unique because it's YOUR experience. The beauty of it is we all have CAMP in common.

Catch the film; it's good stuff.
