Citi's camp highlight is hiking, where she can run free in the Tahoe Wilderness with other dogs.  It is a time when she can experience being everything a dog should be.  The joy on her face is heartwarming.  She is never happier than she is at CampW.

For Pete, lure coursing is the highlight of camp.   It is the one activity that she truly loves.  Her inhibitions dissolve when there is a "bunny" to be chased.  Even though she only has the opportunity once a year, she knows when we are about to arrive at CampW .  Pete's excitement alone makes CampW  a must each summer.

CampW would not be complete without a side trip to the Bog, an ancient lake that is evolving to land.  This must be experienced to appreciate.  For the dogs it is pure heaven.  For humans it is "WOW."  Take off your shoes, roll up your pant legs and walk across the wet grassy surface that responds similarly to trying to walk on a huge water bed.  Dogs and people are tired, wet, and exhilarated from the adventure.

During each camp session, there is a Native American blessing of the animals.  It is one of my favorite camp moments.  It is a time to pause and reflect on how fortunate we are to share life with our special animals and friends and to appreciate the beauty that surrounds us.

Like many of the campers, we returned each summer.  It is hard to explain the affinity campers have for CampW.  One must have the experience to understand.
