As we all know, the Fourth of July is a national holiday that celebrates the birth of the United States as an independent nation. But what does the Fourth mean at Camp Weequahic? For us, this day celebrates each camper as an independent and unique person. We celebrate the freedom everyone is given to select activities they want to participate in; the opportunity to choose what kind of person they want to be when they wake up every morning. It is a time to celebrate the growth of each and every camper and staff member. Here at Weequahic we strive to always show gratitude, a positive attitude, and courage in every situation. The Fourth of July is the perfect time to celebrate the gratitude this community has shown towards each other. It is a time to acknowledge the positive attitudes we have all demonstrated. It is a time to remember the courage we have each displayed in difficult or trying situations. Here at Camp Weequahic we love the Fourth of July because it is about so much more than the birth of the United States as an independent nation. It is about the birth of the Weequahic community and the campers and staff members that have been molded into the best versions of themselves during their time here.
