Below is a poem written by a camper named Keagan who participates in Camp Twitch and Shout, a camp for children with Tourette Syndrome. His poem reflects the power of Camp Twin Lakes to turn challenges into triumphs. Often the most powerful reflections about camp are written by the campers themselves!
10 Letters
10 letters that make you sad
10 letters that make you mad
10 letters that make you hurt
10 letters that make it worse
10 letters that kill your dream
10 letters that are worse than they seem
Look at me and I’ll tell you what I see
10 letters that make me brave
10 letters that make me safe
10 letters that calm the storm
10 letters with one true form
10 letters that we were sent
Because our best defense
Is our 10 letter story that spells
DIFFERENCE
