The brilliant and creative campers of Camp Quest '98 presented answers to them through analogy, symbolism and myth, that is through stories, art, drama, music, poetry, dance, and other forms of creative symbolic expression. We gave them answers that probably saved the future of their world. This year, the campers of Camp Quest '99 have the chance to save our present and our future. We have learned through the time warp we discovered last year that we can look back into the past of our own world. And next year is the year 2,000.
Numbers work like that.
We can't see into the future, but we can see into the past. And we have discovered that in the year 999, people were waiting for the year 1,000 and they were also wondering just what the year 2,000 would be like. We have discovered their answers, and on the last night of camp, once again a time warp will open and we can communicate with the people of the year 999. Each cabin should try to tell these ancestors of ours if the predictions they made in the year 999 for the future actually came to be so. You might also want to give them an idea of what you think the future of these same things will be after the year 2,000.
