Thanks, Amanda :)

SPOILERS







This story is very well-written and well thought out. The campers have arrived....I like that that J&E have established a good understanding of each other already.  I'm betting they're going to need that foundation in the weeks ahead.  Justin and Ryan sound like they are going to be really interesting characters, with Ryan being Cindy's sister, and Justin with his own family issues that Ennis can relate to.  Looks like J&E are going to discover many things about themselves during this summer.

I thought I'd give a bump to this story - Chapter 18 was recently posted:

It looks like we're over the angst of the last few chapters - a good thing!  But.... usually when the angst is over in a story, it's not long before the story is over, too.  I hope this one goes on for a bit,though;  it's very nicely written and her young J&E camp counselors are both so endearing.   :)

Hi Marie! :)

Yep, I read the new chapter last night. 8)

I thought it was really lovely.  And, I really like how complex the situation became with Ryan and the boss at the camp.  I wonder how things will go now that Jack and Ennis have reconciled.

the world was asleep to our latent fuss - bowie

Chapter 19 - a three-parter:

From the Author's Note:  The next chapter will spell the end of camp. The one after that will be the epilogue.

Nice to see things falling into place.   :)

A really lovely story from start to finish.  But, I'm happy to see that it's not quite the end.   :)

Authors Note:  This is the last chapter. There will be an epilogue but I am doing a Christmas one-shot first. I like snow ;)
