You are driving down Nashway Street
When you see a familiar sign
It is titled Camp Lake Hubert
It’s written in green
That is where you will be
For the next four weeks
Protected by a canopy of trees
As you drive a little further
You start to hear chatter
Its the first day excitement
Everyone is filled with jitters
You roll down your window
And they ask you your name
You let them know
And they say right this way
You keep on driving
Until you're in the field
You step out of your car
The familiarity appeals
Your eyes see green
So many trees
Your nose is filled with memories
The barn, the nature and the fresh air, oh so clean
You are headed to your cabin
It is a familiar stroll
During your walk
You start to imagine
Who will my counselors be and will I make new friends?
A friendly counselor shows you to your bed
The anxiety has already start to set in
You franticly start to organize
Hoping it will distract you from your fate
Being here
In a different state
You hear someone walk in
You run downstairs
To the sight of a familiar face
You run into their arms
For a long, warm embrace
And it is in this moment that you know this was no mistake
This is your home
It always has been
It just takes some realizing
But then you’ll understand
The next few weeks fly by
In a blur of smiles songs and laughs
It is time to say goodbye
But you are afraid you cant do that
This cabin has become your home
These friends, your family
Now you have to leave and live all alone
But as you know
All good things come to an end
So everyone goes their own way
Until next year
When you are here once again
When you come home.
