In The Words of 2021 LIT, Drew Hohenstein: Enhancing Family Bonds

 

Having my brother at camp is an interesting and enjoyable activity to say the least. At home I am the oldest sibling and he is constantly annoying me with people and subjects I know nothing about. At camp there are more things to do and people to talk to then just me. This means when he talks to me about camp I actually know the people and activities he is talking about. Having my little brother at camp is also fun because I get to see what I was like when I was a camper and especially what I was like as a Middler.

The only difference is my brother is much more outgoing than me and he is able to make friends much easier than me. Unfortunately, he also gets homesick so having me here and even being in the same unit as him (I was an LIT of the Middler unit) was very helpful to him. 

This was my brother’s second year as a camper and he was very excited to come to camp due to the risk of COVID in 2020. My brother really enjoyed his first and second year and I know there will be nothing to dampen his spirit in the future. 

I love my brother and how camp enhances our bond!
