It’s the understanding that the universe is fundamentally friendly. It’s a mode of training your senses and intellect so you’re able to perceive the fact that life always gives you exactly what you need, exactly when you need it.” Rob Brezsny“Except in extreme circumstances, happiness is mostly internal. One sets a ‘horizon line’ in one’s life and decides that everything above it is joy, everything below is grief. My horizon line is well placed to make sure that most of my landscape is happy.” Raymond Teller-Our Hosts:Jess Elfring-Roberts - Executive Director, Episcopal Camps & Conference CentersJoe Richards - Executive Director, Pearce Williams Summer Camp and Retreat FacilityKJ Williams -  Camp Director, Phantom Lake YMCA Camp-Sponsors:A huge thanks to our sponsors for making this possible.Campify:Is creating your camp schedule a headache?
