HOORAY for A!
And we’re off! After two amazing Father Son camp sessions, we were so excited to get A session underway.

What a Day!
We could not have asked for better weather for the last full day of our second Father Son camp.

There were trips down the waterslide…sailboats ripping across the lake…kids learning to shoot archery…horses ridden on trails…laughter, running, KIDS at camp! How do we even begin to put into words what this day means to all of us? Not just us as directors and staff, but as parents and kids and humans who have lived […]
