True peace is not merely the absence of tension: it is the presence of justice. Martin Luther King Jr.

I would like to thank you for supporting Athena Ca

I would like to thank you for supporting Athena Camps. Your enduring presence is providing us the opportunity to move into 2021 with a new found resilience.

This season started off as our best ever and then the pandemic hit. We feared we might have to close our doors permanently. We waited, made hard decisions, planned, worried and waited some more.

Would we have camp this summer?

On May 1, the decision was made. Utilizing guidance from Santa Clara County Health Official Sara Cody, we reinvented Athena Camps with pandemic safety at the forefront. Our newly trained young women excelled as leaders, and your girls followed our protocols. Not a case of Covid-19 was had.

We rocked 9 weeks of Athena Camps with 729 campers. With hand sanitizer and masking tape we created Pods and kept our “helicopter space”. We played tennis, basketball, soccer and volleyball; made art, danced and did yoga with our friends. Safely. And the Athena magic happened – a community filled with affirmations and love was built, new confidence blossomed. Our time together was even more precious as we sensed it could come to an end at any moment. There were tears as the weeks came to a close. “Air Hugs” became our thing.

As we wrapped up in early August, little did we know that this would be some of the last outdoor playtime and social interactions we would experience with our friends. Our schools would open, then close. The pandemic lasting longer than anyone imagined.

As I reflect on 2020, I feel gratitude infused with sorrow; sad for those we missed at Athena Camps and inspired by those who joined us; grief for the sick, lonely and afraid, yet more grateful than ever for our health, friendships and inner peace; heartbroken for our hungry, suffering, and oppressed; determined to learn, give and do more.
