Away At A Camp In Maine - 8091

Going away to camp is an escape, a refreshing of your soul, a means to disconnect from all you are day-to-day....and yet connect much more deeply with your family and your authentic self. It is returning to the same place in nature, year after year, that creates lasting memories. Kim Kalicky's Aunt and Uncle owned a camp and she spent her childhood there, her memories rich with its part in her life. After fifteen years away from it, she returned as an adult, and for ten years her own young family spent time there each summer. She captures the essence of what getting away, not to France or a villa in Italy, but right in our own states for a very little cost, can do for our spirits. What she describes happening for her children as they aged will encourage other parents to make a tradition of getting away themselves with their own families. This book makes you feel you, too, are skimming the lake in a kayak at dawn, no one on the lake but you; that you, too, are sitting in the Adirondack chairs at dusk, holding hands with your husband or wife, the friend you may have begun to lose touch with in the chaos that makes up your "real" life. Her descriptions of nature, wholesome food, and outdoor exercising make you feel you, too, are away at a camp.
