Camp Sunrise (Make Promises Happen, Central OK Christian Campground) Was Fun

Tweet

I /am/ "addicted" to 'being critical,' but I'll try to stay positive (in the opening). Make Promises Happen was started ... I don't know, I think the history is somewhere on the site http://www.centralokcamp.org/mph/mph-calendar-and-upcoming-events Camp Sunrise was started specifically for 'adult survivors of brain-injury'---mostly for those of us who survived a brain-injury (traumatic- or acquired-, or maybe survivors of strokes; but 'chronic' (i.e. with effects lasting for the rest of our lives) anyway). I've been going every year since I was a very young adult. So the main reason I go is "in order to have a community (the way others have co-workers, classmates, households)." It is now run by a couple of teachers. And they (well, at least one of them) draw a lot of their students in to be camp-counselors. And--with a couple professors doing that for my TBI-survivor support-group--I'm also seeing it as a way of teaching med-students that 'life goes on beyond the hospital for us life-long "patients".' I've been going at-least long enough to know 'the standard schedule' for camp---check-in, meet-&-greet, sleep, breakfast, fun (outdoors games), lunch, games, other fun outdoors stuff, crafts, a talent-show, dinner, bingo, 'a dance,' bed, breakfast, long-farewells, etc. (variations at random). My main criticism (maybe not the worst one, but one I can't quit thinking about) is their deal with masks. Working at their schools and hospitals and clinics, they say they had to wear masks all the time (anytime they were indoors, I think). Working at a school, my mom's the same way---she even made sure I had clean masks packed to use one everyday. But the whole weekend, I'm the only one I saw wear a mask at all! Aside from that, I'm good ... oh, one other thing---I'm used to 'sleeping alone' (i.e. without a 'bunk-mate' (someone else in another bed in the room)); not a big adjustment, but still ... Any questions about how it went? Comments (if any of you have been to 'camps' like this (or even THIS VERY CAMP))?
