Camp Looking Glass spring fling 🌸☔️✨

Camp Looking Glass spring fling 🌸☔️✨

We had such a blast yesterday at our March event! We had special guest artist D. Kosomo and his wonderful wife Jennifer swing by to lead an art class! We painted reclaimed, locally sourced wood cut out into the shapes of guitars, catfish, the state of Mississippi, and magnolia flowers!

We wrapped up the afternoon with flower planting and a good ole fashion game of kickball!

As you move forward this holiday season, just remember help is something we all need and something we all have to give — but we all give and get in different ways.

Stay tuned for more CAMPmas pics and our January-June event schedule!

We are spending the day at the Sam Chatmon Blues Festival and one special boy is spending the day celebrating his BIRTHDAY! Owen's in his first year of doing summer camp and our monthly events, but he's quickly become an old (not really) pro. He has been super excited to hang out in the CLG cabins, to make all kinds of new friends, and even to risk a Beanboozle. And he's definitely one of our many CLG family members who has come into his own and become more confident and outgoing during his time with Camp Looking Glass.

Happy birthday, Owen!

It's time to celebrate another volunteer who has celebrated many birthdays with Camp Looking Glass! Lanna came to Camp Looking Glass fresh out of high school and she's been coming back again and again ever since, no matter how far the drive or how tricky it is for her schedule, and sometimes she even brings us all homemade friendship bracelets! Lanna is one of those jill-of-all-trades volunteers that we can count on to help out with a lot of different things, from early morning yoga to awesome dance costumes, and we know so many of our campers think of her as one of their BFFs for life! Happy birthday, Lanna!

A few of our campers were missing camp so much they decided to get together and do a little CLG style yoga session. We *love*, *love*, *love* seeing our campers and volunteers together outside of camp --- that's how we know we are truly achieving our mission of fostering lifelong friendships between people with and without disabilities.

We'll have the official photographer's pictures soon but we just couldn't wait any longer to say thank you, thank you, thank you to King’s Daughters and Sons Circle Number Two for choosing Camp Looking Glass as a grant recipient this year!!! King’s Daughters and Sons Circle Number Two has been with Camp Looking Glass every step of the way and their support makes our beloved summer camp program possible.

Kyleigh was recruited by Anna Pake and Molly, and with all their know how and experience, we're not surprised that they recruited someone who is AWESOME and PERFECT FOR CAMP. Even though she came as one of our youngest counselors, Kyleigh knocked it out of the park. Kyleigh understood from the jump that our most important relationship with the campers (and other volunteers) is being their friend. But just like our able-bodied friends, our friends with disabilities all need different things from us, and Kyleigh also has never hesitated to step in and provide the extra care and support that her camper friends need. One thing we say at Camp Looking Glass is that attitude is contagious, and in Kyleigh's case that contagion is a happy, boisterous, up-for-anything, not-afraid-to-be-silly personality that's perfect for the Camp Looking Glass chaos. Though we suspect her go-get-'em style is also why she went MIA one day and we found her asleep on a pile of clothes in the laundry cabin. Oh, and did we mention she's one of the fastest runners in the state of Mississippi? Like, seriously. We're not joking.

Happy birthday, Kyleigh! You've got impressiveness in spades, and we're so honored you join the CLG family!

Happy birthday to everyone's favorite secret party animal! Maryn will fool you in a big group and get you thinking she's just a quiet and reserved little lady. But you get her going? Or you go hang out in that rowdy girls cabin? That's when you get to see the musical theater Maryn will sing and dance all day and night, taking breaks only to share sweet and silly moments with her friends. And we're so excited and happy that more and more Maryn is sharing that side with the whole camp! From her impressive shoulder moves at our outdoor picnic to her serenading us with one of her favorite songs at last year's goodbye dinner, Maryn is really showing what happens when make sure our campers understand that we want them to be the center of attention and we love what they have to share.

Maryn, we hope you're the center of attention on your special day today, but on every other day as well! Happy birthday!

It's time for another twofer... not Tuesday: Victor and Dalton's birthdays! Victor and Dalton both bring so much joy to camp it makes sense that they'd share a birthday.

Like Keverette and Jessica, Dalton is another camper who has grown so much over the years. In his first year, Dalton was very hesitant to get involved. And we get that! It's scary to be around a whole bunch of new people trying new things, and worrying that you'll be bad at them or look silly doing them. But he was the lion in that year's Wizard of Oz play and he's been roaring through camp ever since. Now going on his 10th (!!!) year at Camp Looking Glass, Dalton is anything but a wallflower. He's a boisterous arm-wrestling champion who is outspoken about how much he wants to go fishing, and boy do we love building self-advocacy skills! But one thing that's always been the same about Dalton is just how sweet as pie and photogenic as all get out he is. Happy birthday, bud --- we're gonna get you on that water slide one day!

As for Victor, we'll be ... so excited ... (next time he's) ... headed to Greenville (iykyk). Victor is not only the camp doctor, he's also the camp music maestro, showing up each summer with some sweet original tunes for us to sing together. And the most important thing of all that Victor brings to Camp Looking Glass is his brother Simeon! Happy birthday, Victor! Thanks for being and bringing one of our favorite people.

PS Birthday boy Dalton also has a very special cameo at the end of our 2021 video!

Jessica and Keverette are two campers who have been with Camp Looking Glass since Day 1, and they also happen to share a birthday! We've been so lucky these last 20(!!!) years to watch Keverette and Jessica grow and flourish as individuals and as campers. In his first year, Camp Looking Glass was a little bit too much chaos for Keverette to be able to stay all week --- which is funny considering that now he *is* the chaos. And as for Jessica, let's just say she was a little more ... strong-willed ... in her youth. Now, Keverette and Jessica are experienced A+ super stars at camp. Every year they seize the opportunity to experience new things and try things they've never done before, like making sushi or riding on the New York City subway! In their downtime, you can also find them surfing YouTube to learn a new song and dance (Jessica) or watch hilarious comedy videos (Keverette). Natasha appreciates how much they both help with writing thank you cards, and our whole camp family appreciates the beautiful caring kindness they share with us.

Happy birthday, Keverette & Jessica! We can't believe just one day can be reponsible for the both of you!

What is there to say about Alaina other than she sure does make us excited about the next generation of counselors (and humans in general). Every once in a great while there's a little fussin' because camp tuckers most of us out, but for approximately 99.9% of the time, Alaina is just bopping around filling the room with her priceless giggle. She's eager to try everything, excited to run around outside and make a ruckus, but more than many (most?) kids her age, she's also able to enjoy time with camp friends when we're just chilling and relaxing. So basically she's got everything it takes to be a counselor, except for approximately 10 years. We'll be sure to save her a spot, we won't regret it.

Happy birthday, Alaina! We're so honored and grateful to get to watch you grow up.

Before finishing up, we would be remiss if we didn't mention that Alaina's sweet and loving nature ain't surprising considering how sweet and loving her mom and pops --- also camp volunteers

It's time for another episode of our periodic show, #TooCuteTuesday, and we've got a whole buffet of cuteness for ya! We've got piggyback cute! Topped with a special drizzle of matching outfits. We've got clowning around cute! We've got brotherly love cute, which pairs nicely with a fine bottle of fatherly love cute! And for dessert, we've got warm group hug à la mode.

We hope Princess Gracie doesn't use her magic cane to banish us from her kingdom because.. her birthday was yesterday. This doesn't reflect on how much we love Gracie or how sweet she is because let us tell ya: we love her SO MUCH and she is SO SWEET. And underneath that sweet exterior is a world class athlete waiting to come out, because Gracie has mastered the slam dunk (with a little help 😉) AND the weight room at camp (with a spotter, safety first). She's always so curious, asking questions so she can see the things around her with her mind, even if it's a little hard to see them with her eyes, and having Gracie around means she'll randomly brighten your day by telling you she loves you or how pretty you are.

Happy birthday, Princess Gracie! You're getting so old you're almost a queen!

Anna Pake (a.k.a. AP) is 15!!!! In her case it's really easy to figure out how many years of her life she's spent with Camp Looking Glass because it is... *drum roll* ... ALL OF THEM. That's right, ladies and gentle creatures, she's been coming to camp all 15 years of her life. Well, really, it's more like 15 years and 9 months because she's been coming to camp since before she was born.

Unsurprisingly, with all of that experience under her belt, she's pretty awesome at camp. She comes up with a new camp cheer for our kick off parties, she helps provide excellent care for campers in her cabin, and she's frequently called on to help train and mentor new counselors older than her. Her and her sister Molly also make critical contributions helping Jenny, Natasha, and Sara with all those behind the scenes chores that make camp run. Basically, what we're saying is that she's one of the kindest and empathetic teenage girls we've ever met.

We can't imagine camp without Anna Pake, and we hope she never imagines life without camp.

We love you, happy birthday, AP!

OUR STORY

Since 2004, Camp Looking Glass has been providing sleep-away summer camps and year-round recreational activities to children and adults with disabilities in the Mississippi Delta, all at no cost to campers and their families.

During our time together, we do everything from creating original artwork to traveling to new and exciting places. Our main focus, however, is creating lifelong friendships between people with and without disabilities.

Camp Looking Glass Mission Statement

By encouraging self-confidence, creativity, compassion, and joy, Camp Looking Glass strives to foster lifelong friendships and ensure that people with disabilities are included and celebrated in every aspect of life. Our entirely volunteer-run recreational activities focus on abilities, not disabilities, and are provided at no cost to campers and their families.
