Let Your Magic GLOW!

One of the most amazing things about camp is a little something I call the "magic of camp." It's
pretty hard to describe, but when you feel it  you know it's there: the feeling of openness,

acceptance, curiosity, vulnerability, authenticity, and love. There is something about being in the

woods with a group of people you will soon become very close to, where you will step outside you
comfort zone and think out of the box. Every day there are new challenges, each of them an

opportunity to try out a new reality, to step into yourself. It's a whirlwind, and it's pure magic. 

 
Where do you think all that magic comes from? Every single one of us, that's where! Inside each of

us lies great potential to light up the world in our own special way. I know it sounds cheesy, but we
all should try to let out that beautiful part of us that is begging to shine through. The "magic of

camp" is really the magic of every individual that makes camp come to life. Even outside of camp, it

is inside all of us and we have to let that magic GLOW! 
 

This edition of the GLOW Gazette features many of the people who GLOW, both at camp and at
home in their communities. I hope you enjoy reading about these amazing women! 

 
GLOW Love, 

 
Coco Shin 
GLOW Outreach and Communications Coordinator

The GLOW/YMLP Club Coordinators would like to give a special shout out to

all of the Club Leaders who are celebrating Prom and Graduation this year.

Thank you all for your hard work, passion, and dedication to your local clubs

and communities this past year and beyond. You are all beautiful both inside

and out!

As you start on your next adventures, bring with you the same enthusiasm
and devotion and you will surely succeed.

“Before you act, listen. Before you react, think. Before you spend, earn.

Before you criticize, wait. Before you pray, forgive. Before you quit, try.”

- William Arthur Ward

“The change starts from us, and our behavior has a greater
impact on others than what we usually think.” -Mimi Filova
 Leah is from Brookings, South Dakota and
is currently living in Krusevo. As a Lead
Counselor, she is in charge of keeping up
the camp spirit as well as supporting the staff
and campers with all endeavors. She is an
expert at making up songs about her life to
top 40 tunes, lounging in her hammock, and
eating almost any type of dessert.

Filova can be found reflecting on the beauty of her life and
snapping a photo or two.   Mimi is a well rounded
environmentalist who loves sharing everything from her goals
to her skills to her energy.   She radiates a positivity that can
be felt by all those around her.  Like many of us, she looks up
to strong women activists, including Emma Watson. She also
draws inspiration from watching TED Talks and is constantly
educating herself with what’s happening around the world,
loving to learn about new cultures. This Harry Potter fan is
helping fight for equality and aspires to be in the field of
technology and innovation, which we have no doubt she will
accomplish.
