ESF Legends Awarded at Family Fling Events this Summer!

09.27.2023

For the past four decades, ESF has remained dedicated to making a positive impact on campers’ lives every single summer. Our focus spans from developing character and boosting self-assurance to acquiring new skills. ESF’s mission is to guide campers towards becoming outstanding members of the community and emerging as leaders. Throughout this time, ESF has upheld a range of cherished customs. Some of these customs foster a sense of togetherness and inclusion. Others commemorate personal or team achievements, like The Oracle, while some mark significant transitions, such as Moving Up Ceremonies.

Nonetheless, the ESF Legends program solidifies the foundational principles instilled in the ESF summer camp experience: gratitude, respect, optimism, dependability, diligence, Kindness, resiliency, and community. Numerous campers eagerly anticipate joining the ranks of Legends and rejoicing with their camp peers. This Summer, we organized Family Fling events across all our camp locations to celebrate the season. These gatherings were an occasion to honor our campers and recognize our campers who have dedicated 10 years or more to ESF.

During the ceremony, every ESF Legend was presented with an official “ESF Legend” sweatshirt, a moment that parents could witness firsthand. Upholding these traditions remains a vital aspect of ESF camp, reinforcing the enjoyment, camaraderie, and enthusiasm that define each summer for every camper.
