“I got married and am the proud mum of 2 daughters that are 5.5 and 4.5 years old. I went back to school this year to do an MBA. I plan on sending my daughters to camp when they grow up.”

“It has been wonderful reuniting with camp friends like Connie Drapeau Kennedy and Lois Peterson Mariano, two campers I grew up with and whom I still consider to be two of my very best friends. The friends made at camp are life-long. Just recently Connie and I met up with camp counselor extraordinaire, Mary Hunt, in Washington, DC, in January for the Women’s March. I hadn’t seen those ladies since Connie and I were Owls in 1973. Just like old times. Through Facebook we have been in contact with many other campers from the late ’60s and early ’70s. It is incredibly fun to see old photos and reminisce about our fun times at Camp Jeanne d’Arc. Thank you for carrying on the traditions we know and love so much from our youth and for including us all in your journey forward. Empowering girls to become strong women is a major task, and Camp seems more important now than ever. Best wishes to you all!”

My daughter, Cara and her daughters, Lillian and Violet , will be attending 2 weeks of camp in August. Cara will be working as a nurse and the girls attending camp. Don’t know what cabins they will be in. Maybe Flicker for Violet (9) and Orioles for Lillian? (11). I don’t remember the ages for each cabin..It’s been awhile. I know they will LOVE camp as I did. My other daughter, Elizabeth will be staying here in Charlotte and loving her new baby boy, Archer.
We all live in Charlotte, NC
