It’s hard to put onto words what TAW means to my daughter . It is the highlight of her year . We call it Bella time . It’s three weeks that she gets to get away and try things new and make life long friendships. She talks daily about camp . As she gets older she gets more emotionally invested in the people and the traditions . She is a true Cherokee girl and would wear her colors daily . I’ve had people question sending someone so “young “ “away” for three weeks. I just show them the pictures of how happy and confident she looks .
