Unapologetic, Authentic, and Transformative

👤 By: Elyse Vander Ende⛺ other

I was lucky to attend leadership camp before I even knew the magic of it. And the next year even luckier to be selected by you for camp committee! Mostly pictured in this pic I was able to dig up. Mrs. Kettle, what a selfless commitment you made running leadership camp year after year. One weekend but with a life lasting impact on all those who were a part of it. It was unapologetic, authentic, empowering, collaborative, empathetic, and transformative. All things I carry with me now in my own adulthood. It helped shaped so many young people, who were just starting to find their way as young adults. It’s hard to measure that impact, but I hope this kudo can begin to scratch the surface. I beyond appreciate and cherish my memories at camp, and my after school hours with my committee, who looked to your mentorship to help bring camp to life for others. Because without you, it truly wouldn’t have happened.
