A Family Friendly Event

Eric was intentional about working at camp. He saw camp families spending time together that other jobs couldn't afford, and wanted that for his own -- a family-friendly environment. However, while there is a definite love for family at camp, the demands are still high.

However, there are the perks, too. A fleet of boats at our disposal and a beautiful setting to worship and play on summer Sundays. And let's not forget about golf carts.
After meeting Eric for dinner by the lake, we went for a golf card ride around the perimeter of the camp grounds, all 50 acres. Cal sat on my lap while Eric drove; he sang with a jumpy voice as it was a bumpy ride. For long stretches he said, "weeeee", like he does going down a slide. Such a simple pleasure. Such a family friendly event. That's a helpful reminder as we head into a busy summer season.

And Cal got to help drive a little. He'd love that, too. Given a chance to explore the driver's seat of a 'real' car, he'll try every button and knob between steering motions with the wheel. Such endless curiosity and initiative!!
