My Summer Home

02.14.07

Here is a poem about Med-Camps, written by one of our campers, Brooke Arnold.
My Summer Home
By Brooke Arnold

My summer home
Is not just any home
This is a one of a kind home
It is a different world
No need to put on your mask
You can be yourself
No need to worry
About anyone laughing at me
You can be yourself
Cause we are all the same
At my summer home.
