Wonderful day today as we rode into South Carolina! We enjoyed a delicious continental breakfast at the Holiday Inn before hitting the road, and enjoyed our last miles in Georgia. At the state line was a massive lake, so naturally the team jumped in together to cool off in the 100 degree heat. We are also officially heading north now.
Lodging is at Camp Hope, a part of Clemson University. The camp serves as a summer camp haven for people with cognitive disabilities of all ages. When we arrived, we played in the lake on the water trampoline; I felt just like a camper. Also, Push America has done a great deal for this camp. Pi Kappa Phi brothers have built accessible ramps, amphitheaters, docks, and even a bell tower here at the camp while doing Push Projects. All in all, in the past 20 years, Camp Hope has benefitting from this construction plus $100,000 in grants! It's a beautiful thing to see our fundraising money at use!
Here's a couple pics a water slide Pi Kapps built here, a quote I found on camp that I love, and even some random sidewalk chalking (I promise I didn't write it).
