8 Days of Summer

This July, senior Robyn Whitaker went to Camp Ozark for her seventh summer. Pictured are Robyn and her older sister, Auburn sophomore Lauren, following a tribal win at the camp wide relay on the last day of camp. Whitaker said: “As an oldest girl, I was an important factor in the race and I had to run a very difficult obstacle course with the entire camp watching and cheering me on. I was so excited when we won, but so sad it was my last year." Whitaker realized that being able to be with her sister only added to the greatness of the win that day.
This summer, as we all went on different journeys, we were impacted by what we learned. For eight different seniors, their journeys were very different but equally as meaningful.

Senior Laney Elders visited Dubai this June; pictured is the tallest building in the world, called the Burj Khalifa. Elders appreciated how the city is very historical but so modern: “You see people walking around in tradition Islamic clothing but you see people going in the biggest mall in the world or visit Atlantis on a man-made island like a palm tree. It’s such a unique city.”
