Camp Nordic Adventure!

The Camp Forget Me Not family fully enjoyed a beautiful day of Nordic skiing, laughs, joy, and of course, pizza! The always generous and amazing Frisco Adventure Park provided an amazing space for campers to shred the cross country gnar.

The smiles, and downhill spills were bountiful. The laughter was plentiful. With all levels of skiers on the day, we were grateful to have campers who actually knew how to Nordic leading the way. Grateful for that! Remembering the value of spending time with people of value, outdoors, having fun.

Thank you everyone for making this happen! Team Work Makes a Dream Work!

Here is another perspective from Elli Van DeYacht a new team member.

On January 27th, 2019, Camp Forget Me Not held a day event at the Frisco Nordic Center in which families could come to spend time with wonderful and enthusiastic volunteers. The abundance of t-shirts, warm winter hats, and bracelets handed out not only promoted their logo to onlookers but provided a sense of unity within the group.

The fluidity of the event was inviting and relaxing, to which the staff at the Frisco Nordic Center were welcoming and accommodating. After getting set up with skis and poles, the warm sun prompted everyone outside to enjoy a day where people of all ages could connect and have fun. Conversation flowed freely and the atmosphere stayed positive. Even when the kids and volunteers of a lower ability fell, everyone offered a supporting hand.

Towards the end of the joyous day, Camp Forget Me Not met up with CBS Channel 4 News. Matt Kroschel interviewed the founder, and one of the willing adolescents to share the amazing experience that Camp Forget Me Not provides. After skiing, everyone enjoyed a lunch in town of delicious pizza. With great food and fun physical activity, everyone was filled with a great experience.

Over the course of the day, I learned that creating connections and developing support systems is essential. Positivity is key, and tutu Tuesday’s can happen on Sunday’s.
