WOW! Did we ever miss the Club Forget Me Not family. Perfect weather, lots of smiles, and great adventure, felt like the good old days. The YMCA in Granby was host to the Fall CFMN retreat. Thanks to all the campers who came out to have some fun in the mountains. As always, this is a teamwork-makes-dream-work event so thank you to the volunteers, families, and everyone who chipped in to make this a great Forget Me Not outing. Great to see our veteran campers and staff and welcome some new faces.
Per usual we were going a million miles an hour with exciting activities. Puzzles and games, tie-dying shirts and bandanas, planting all of our favorite flowers (Forget Me Nots, duh), yard-game party, frisbee, and smores were just a PART of the fun on Saturday. Capping off the evening with pizza, a bonfire and a movie led to sleepy campers and volunteers. Up and ready to roll Sunday morning a beautiful waterfall hike before reconnecting with our families concluded the fantastic weekend.
Another stress-relieving, fun, therapeutic activity was writing private messages on dinner plates of things we were frustrated with and wanted to let go as well as our foundations and gratitudes of love. Then, with HUGE grins we enjoyed smashing these plates as a way of letting go. It was beautiful and therapeutic. We highly recommend (safely) doing this.
Thanks again to the campers for being so brave, courageous and entertaining! Please share these photos and we look forward to seeing you all in December for another excellent outing.
