Time has flown by and camp has come to a close. Where has the summer gone? 

I was walking around the girl’s locker room on Thursday afternoon and saw some sad campers & counselors. I heard their conversations but stayed in the background: “I’m so bummed” “I Love Summer”… and so on…..and then one of the counselors (our dear Anna) said: “Don’t think about it being over…think of all the good things that happened and how much fun you had”.

That stayed with me because I loved her perspective about something “good”, “happy”, “fun”. It’s a great way to look at our life’s funnest moments. Campers & counselors, Thank you for all those “fun” moments !

Your wonderful children will be returning to school this week and the school year routine will begin. 

Your children have done lots of swimming, in fact lots and lots of swimming. We had such wonderful weather all summer that we spent it at the pool mostly four days a week.

@Fun in the Sun 2011

On trip days the children have golfed (miniature), bowled, roller skated, Happy Tymed, climbed, saw a movie or two, bounced and climbed some more, got splashed with a big bucket full of water, went down water slides, sat on a tube, tied dyed, learned how to spend money in the snack bar….

They did sports… soccer, basketball, kickball, capture the flag…..etc, etc, etc.

But most of all they have played. Then they played more, and then they played even more. They met lots of new friends, connected with old friends, and played some more.They used their imagination and creativity, played games indoors and out, invented their own games, spent LOTS of time inside and outside in the mornings and making full use of the great 11 acres at the swim club in the afternoons.
