HORIZONS DAY CAMP
N E W S L E T T E R
WINTER 2024
DEAR HORIZONITES, The summer of 2023 had it all! Classic Horizons staples such as Quidditch and International Spies lined up alongside some very unique events. Who could forget the Water Parade, summiting our first Presidential Peak, or recognizing Nate’s incredible achievement of completing his 10th summer as a counselor? It was his 147th summer in total (he was a camper for a looooong time). During Zenith Fire, when introducing Nate, I posed the question: What is a Horizonite? Six months have passed since that landmark event, and I continue to ponder.
Simply put, a Horizonite is anyone who has had the fortune to be part of our summer community, and it is an honor that lasts a lifetime. However, being a Horizonite means much more than a name on an enrollment sheet. As with a sunrise, each one brightens your day; some are understated, illuminating the world in gentle ways. Others radiate with a vibrance that stops everyone in their tracks. Just as every sunrise is unique and special, so are our Horizonites. When we are most comfortable being ourselves, allowing a little vulnerability by revealing who we really are, we become the greatest Horizonites possible. If we are honest and open, we can be free to expand in unimaginable ways, sharing our radiance with those around us. continued on page 2
