Camp Echo Lake Poem: Jessica Casper
Upper Inter Girl, Jessica Casper, was recently asked to write a poem for her English class. Jessica chose to write about one of her favorite places on Earth, Camp Echo Lake. We are blown away by her ability to capture the true essence of Echo Lake with her words. Please enjoy her poem below…
Camp Echo Lake
Camp is like my home,
With so many sisters
Making new ones every year
And keeping the old ones
Camp is like a teacher
Waiting to give confidence to the campers
Who try the new activities
Even when they are scared
Camp is a wonderland
In the Adirondacks
Surrounded by trees and lakes
And a clear blue sky
Camp is like leaping off a cliff,
Concurring your fears
Stepping out of your box
And helping others step out of theirs
Camp is like a memory holder,
Waiting 10 months for 2
Till I come back to camp
I keep the old ones and make some new
Camp is like a baseball stadium
Filled with laughter and smiles
Although there are some cries
Camp is really worth the while
