​The night before STEAM in the PARK begins...

Tonight, the ambassadors, Steve, and I are already at Tremont getting everything ready.

Boxes are being unpacked.
Name tags are being sorted.
Supplies are finding their way to tables.
Journals are waiting for their owners.

And somewhere in the middle of it all, we're laughing, telling stories, and wondering if we remembered to pack everything.
Tomorrow, educators from across the country will begin arriving, but tonight belongs to the behind-the-scenes crew that helps make this magic happen.

It's one of my favorite nights of the year.
The camp is quiet.
The mountains are settling in for the evening.
The fireflies are starting to appear.
And all around us is the anticipation of what's to come.

By this time tomorrow, these empty spaces will be filled with new friends, creative ideas, big conversations, and the kind of moments that remind us why STEAM in the PARK exists in the first place.
After months of planning, packing, emailing, creating, and dreaming...
We're finally here.

Year 6 begins tomorrow.

See you soon, Firefly Family.
