The Farm Wisdom Almanac
Every morning during Flag Raising, we open the circle up to anyone that would like to share a “Pear of Wisdom”. These pearls are various peices of advice, quotes of inspiration, and creative thoughts from our campers and counselors about life on the farm, camp, and anything else they would like to share. Throughout the summer, we have complied a list of these Pearls of Wisdom and have created the Farm Wisdom Almanac. Here is the Almanac from summer 2013!
