Camp Aspetuck

I used to work there, in what feels like another lifetime.  

It is a small Girl Scout day camp tucked away in Weston, CT.  Today I went back for a visit, since my sister "Periwinkle" still works there.

I haven't been back to camp in eleven years.

Everything was still the same.  Same dark staff porch, same rickety brown lodge.  Same wonderful smell of campfires and dirt and fresh air.

I'm glad it was the same.  I think I would have been upset if it had gone all shiny and new on me.  But It was funny to be there.  Like I had stepped back in time. 

I wonder what it will look like in eleven more years...
