Maria had always loved camp. She began attending Camp Starry Sky as a young girl and continued as a counselor in her teenage years. She progressed to the rank of assistant director at Starry Sky before, with the financial and moral support of her mentors, acquiring the prestigious Camp Blue Trail to run as a director herself. At Blue Trail, Maria encounters an eclectic group of leaders and counselors who, though passionate, have overseen a sharp decline in the camp's enrollment. Maria must balance respect for the existing community and culture of the camp with the new ideas and strategies she wishes to bring to the table.
To Maria and the others on the Blue Trail team, camp is more than just a fun summer in the woods. It is an opportunity to build critical leadership and social skills, to make lifelong bonds, and to grow as a multifaceted individual.
