Many years ago, we sent our daughter off to the summer Girl Scout camp Four Echoes on Lake Coeur d’Alene’s Windy Bay, which was a rite of passage for many children on the cusp of becoming teens. She gained the experience of being separated for a week from family with a group of individuals previously unknown to her. She gained the experience of a foreign environment, the self-confidence nurtured by swimming across Windy Bay and back and the experience of teamwork in an extended canoe trip down the lake and up the lower St. Joe.
Like they all do at that age, the young girl grew into a woman and eventually became a college educator and bore two sons, one now a teen and the other on its cusp.
