Shoutout to the ByrneCrest staff for running an incredible open house the other day! Thanks to the efficiency and preparedness of the staff, Mentor/Junior Ment pairs were able to sign up for classes, fill out meal matrices, write parent postcards, decorate frisbees, and clean, all while having meaningful interactions. The Byrne parent postcards were particularly enhanced with mentor guidance!

Brown Cabin has done a tremendous job this week despite being short-staffed and without leadership. Other counselors have already commented on how well the general staff has handled this adversity and it was great to hear upon my return from concussion protocol. Peter Carr did an excellent job stepping into a leadership role, as did the rest of the cabin in rising to the occasion.
