Our fifth week of Ohana Family campers arrived on Saturday to a beautiful sunny day. The waterfront was a popular spot that afternoon. Kayaks, canoes and sailboats were out on the crystal clear lake which was sparkling as it often does. The new swimming docks were full of laughing children and happy parents and grandparents. Families of all manner have been joining us this summer for our inaugural season. A number of extended families have experienced the joy of a multi -generation vacation. Grandparents have their own cabins, children can play with cousins and visit with aunts and uncles whom they may not see as often as they like. The families are all anxious to return next year and have made their reservations already. So Ohana Camp is up and running. Our wonderful and dedicated staff are having fun being a part of the first year of camp – creating the Ohana Camp culture - as they like to say. From hiking to contra dances to campfires to reading on the front porch and enjoying the views, it all seems so natural here at this historic site.
Mid-summer is upon us and the days are long and green. Wildflowers are everywhere and our gardens are producing a wonderful bounty. Crickets are beginning to sing their August songs. Haying on our fields will start in another few days. It is all part of the natural cycle here at Ohana Camp on Lake Fairlee, and having the joyful sounds of children and families having fun, just adds to the beauty of this special place.
