Delanee Gilbert: Camp Volunteer

My experience at camp has been difficult, yes, but I wouldn't change it for anything. Over the past 2 summers I have learned more about joy and selflessness than I have in my 17 years of being alive. For a lot of these kids, they don't have much, yet they are some of the happiest people that you will ever meet. They are so grateful for you sacrificing your time to them and you can't help but fall in love with every single one of them. It's hard to leave them on that last day but it's such a good feeling to know that you were able to help them have probably one of the best weeks out of the entire year; a week where they are able to escape their disability and maybe even the bullies that they have to deal with every other day of the year and be able to be with kids that are just like them. I LOVE CAMP.
