During this past week at camp, many wonderful memories and thoughts have been shared by campers and staff during awards ceremonies, Candelight Vespers, and Final Campfire. These memories and thoughts have been very touching, and serve as a reminder about how really special a summer at camp can be. With Final Banquet just a few hours away, I would like to share with you the following special thought as written and read by Nicolet camper Sarah Wohlman at Candlelight Vespers:

Throughout my five years at Nicolet, many changes have
taken place. However, the one thing that has stayed
constant is the "Spirit of Nicolet." Spirit is what
lingers in every activity and cabin. It keeps friend-
ships and preserves events that happened at camp, year
after year. The "Spirit of Nicolet" burns in everyone's
heart. From the past to the future, it has and will be the
one thing which stays with the camp. And it extends to you;
May the Spirit of Nicolet Burn in Your Heart Forever.

What a wonderful thought to keep with us as we say our "so-longs" and head back home and off to school. And perhaps it serves as a heart-warming thought which might take the icy edge off the chilliest of winter days. Thanks for checking out this edition of "News from Franklin Lake." Be sure to check back early next week for pictures from Final Banquet, and for more memories and thoughts from summer 2002 at Nicolet. We wish everyone safe travels home, and keep Thinking Sunshine!
