One of the bravest Brave Girls I know is Camille McClelland. She is an original Brave Girl who went to our practice camp, and has come faithfully every time she can get away from work to be on our staff. She is awesome and we love her dearly.
Cam has a lot of Brave Girl experience and recently when asked what she was looking forward to the very most about Brave Girl Camp said, “Thursday. Thursday is my favorite thing about Brave Girls. When everyone has gotten to know one another, but it’s not close enough to the end to start feeling sad. The AMAZING commitments and friendships. I have never felt more safe than when I am at Brave Girls, and Thursday is always the perfect day.
She is so right.
I don’t know that much explaining has to be done here…Cam said it well and the pictures say it even better. By Wednesday, you no longer feel like a stranger…more like a friend in a familiar place. But by Thursday, you feel like a sister at home. I don’t know how it happens so fast…I don’t know anywhere else in the world that it DOES happen this fast. But it’s true…and by Thursday you know you will never be the same…and that you’ll never be alone again…
Thursday looks like this:
A walk on Thursday looks like this:
Thursday FEELS like this:
And it only gets better from here….
All the magic happened in Soul Restoration too! Now I am learning to live with that peace and it is amazing!
I don’t know when I will be able to afford to come in person to camp but I’m looking forward to that happy day, and looking forward to Thursdays. Bright blessings be upon all of us in our journeys near and far xxx
I’m soooooooo gonna be there some day!
Seeing these lovely faces just spreads the joy. Makes me feel like I get a little taste of being there. How awesome is that?! Thanks so much for posting these lovely pics! You guys rawk!
Again, What a magical place. Thanx for the pictures, I Love seeing them.
THIT!!!(Thank God Its Thursday!!) Love Ya’ll!
I want to experience THURSDAY!!!
Ever have anyone ask you” if you could have any wish in the world….what would it be?”
ONLY ONE ANSWER for me……. “BRAVE GIRL CAMP” ! It will be my dream come true!
Praying every day for the chance to be there! You go girls!!
OMG,… I can only echo what has been written!!!!! I WANT TO COME BADLY!!!!! I will start to save my pennies! xoxoxoxoxo ♥
I’m afraid to come to Brave Girls Camp. There I said it. I’m afraid because I’d never ever want to leave and I’d have to live the rest of my life homesick for it….. I would give just about anything to have this experience. Stop. making. me. cry.
September, I guarantee you that BGC will never stop giving! You will learn so much about yourself and experience such a generosity of spirit and friendship that you will always, always have! Get your sweet self there!
I am lucky enough to have gone to Brave Girls. Whenever anyone asks, I always say “It is worth every penny, it is worth everything, to be there!” don’t doubt it! Just go!
oh boy do I miss it. And you wonderful people. So much.
I’m on the waiting list for the fall camp, but I’m almost more afraid I’ll get in than not get in. I’m reserved and don’t make friends very easily, but what I see here makes me think, “Maybe this will be different. Maybe this will be different for me.” So many clearly joyful faces can’t be wrong. They just can’t be.
One of my many goals is to make it to Brave Girl Camp one day!
Ah, Kallie!!! You are so sweet. I see this as the highest compliment coming from you… since are much braver than I am. Love you muchly.
All I can say is I love, love, love this. So true. the day you realize something shifted, the day you realize you will never forget these awesome girls.
