212 CBH Year Pins |
Acquired: Between 1994-2005
From: Camp Black Hawk
Notes: Every year that you went to camp you received one of these pins. The color was different for each year (well, a few were the same), and it was a way to bring the camp together as a community. I always had a determined goal of reaching the inner-circles of the ceremony where we got the pins (literally circles), and I was so proud to finally receive a silver pin (for 10-15 years).
I spent a portion of 10 different summers (11, actually, I think) at that camp, and while you can tell that some of my year-pins are missing, these are all the actual ones that I actually received each year. I have another collection somewhere of a full and properly-colored set. They are slightly less abused than these, and I rather hope they are in the correct color-order because it bothers me that I can't recall which colors went with which pins, since it was such a large and important thing for so many years.
