Campers at Camp Tuku proceed to the gathering area for morning mindfulness.

Just before morning assembly on Monday, June 19, 2023, at Camp Tuku in Arizona, campers were chatting amongst themselves on the lawn just outside Founders Hall. Our Outreach and Development Director, Karen, was on scene, capturing “words of wisdom” from our campers as they described their first night at camp and what they are looking forward to in the coming week:

  • 

“We were up at 5 a.m. The earlier you get up, the more fun you get to have in the day!” (Their counselor concurred; their entire cabin of 8 year old girls was up and roarin’ to go!)
  • “I can’t wait to try all the things (activities) I don’t get to do in my real life.” Such as? “Shooting arrows!” (archery) 
  • “It wasn’t my comfy bed from home, but I was so tired from being so excited, I slept just fine.
  • “I wish real school let us spend this much time outside doing cool stuff.”
  • “I can’t wait to get on the horses and also dance and drama.”
  • “I really want to learn how to be more chill. School stresses me out way too much.”
