Nancy Wilson
Miniwanca Camper, Merrowvista Staff Member
"A camper came to me who had diabetes. She was in the Four Trails program—which meant she was out of camp sailing, canoeing, and hiking for
all four weeks. When I was talking with her, I shared a very personal experience about a dear friend of mine who had lived with diabetes for a long time. My friend had not been able to do many of the things she wanted to do, and I told the camper, 'I want you to be able to go out and do what you want to do'” I was just hoping for the best.
"The next day, I found out that she did go up with the Village—and on all four trips, she never missed a beat. Even though some of her fellow campers came back with minor cuts and sprains, she completed the entire program. I was so proud of her."
