While this may not be a pretty picture, it’s just the tip of the iceberg of what we were dealing with at Camp.

450 people making life changes from incremental to seismic – in a truly supportive environment, where over and over people expressed that they could let go and be exactly themselves. 

That’s what kind of awesomeness I dealt with last week.

#CampFeels 

It’s real.

Helping score the powerlifting competition on the intermediate/advanced day and load plates on the beginner day was definitely a highlight of my Wizarding (camp counselor) experience. Not only did I get to cheer my Internet friends on, I saw so many amazing Nerds pushing themselves waaaaaay past their comfort zones and through their pre-set limits. 

Lots of amazing stuff happened here. 

Rurik’s epic beard was just one of them.

Tank’s smaller but still epic facial hair was another.

Waiting for campers to arrive!

Interesting sky color tonight.

Coney is pretty great when it’s not “season”.

Prepping for Nerd camp.

Midtown meeting.

Yet another dog selfie – we had a particularly cuddly day.
