That was the theme of the Camp Rainbow 1999 Fall Retreat, organized by myself and Bill Davis. It was held November 5, 6 & 7 at Camp Moorecroft in Nanoose Bay, BC. It was a blast. We had participants from both summer basic camps, as well as last years advanced (1999.) It was a great time... I had a particularly good time, because I knew everything that was going on. It was great to see so many of the people that really touched my heart this summer. I loved seeing everyone! :) Here's some inside jokes about the weekend!
