Sunday Snippet: True To Our Mission

Many organizations and businesses have a mission statement, but they are often nothing more than a sign hanging on a wall or stuffed inside an annual report.   WeHaKee Camp for Girls certainly has a their own mission statement, but it is embraced and well-worn as the focal point of all that we do. To further the it’s effectiveness, we support the statement with a vision statement and set of stated values.   Every decision we make is filtered through our Mission, Vision and Values to determine its validity to the WeHaKee experience.   Over the course of the next few weeks we would like to share the details behind our Mission, Vision and Values to help our WeHaKee alumni, families, friends along with those of you you who simply wish to learn more about us.   This is what we are truly all about:
