So so grateful for this crew of folks from Global Foundries who joined us on Friday as we continue to care for camp in the post-season ❤️

GlobalFoundries US has been joining us now almost yearly now for Volunteer Days, which means camp couldn’t be the camp we know and love without their help and support

Can’t believe our last day at camp together was a month ago ❤️🏕️

🎶“And I love Vermont, but it’s the season of the sticks
And I saw your mom, she forgot that I existed
And it’s half my fault, but I just like to play the victim
I’ll drink APPLE JUICE ‘til my friends come home for Christmas/(home to Hochelaga)” ❤️‍🔥
