We woke up to a slight drizzle this morning, with pockets of sunshine, but nothing too much to keep us away from a day full of activities. Even though we’ve had quite the rainy start to our summer, I’m so happy that it’s been a…
Every year I always think the day after Special Day will bring more of a melancholy mood from our campers. With so much fun, sugar and sun, it’s easy to think that campers will come to breakfast as a quieter bunch. Yet every year, our…
