1. The Fresh Air and Scenery
Where we live the land is flat and not particularly interesting. There are no lakes, rivers, or ponds in our community, nor are there many flowers around, even after all the snow melts. So it was lovely to enjoy the view at the water's edge and see the green hills of the Qu'Appelle Valley on our way there and back. I spent many hours roaming the grounds with my youngest daughter and skipping rocks at the shoreline of the lake while my other children explored and collected rocks and shells.
2. The Food
I was unsure what to expect from the dining hall. Memories of camp food from my childhood did not inspire me to expect much. However, the volunteers at our camp made some fantastic meals and evening snacks for us. The highlight was fresh donuts. Move over Tim Horton's. Eunice makes some of the best in the country!
3. The Freedom!
The best feature for me and my husband was that our kids were not always with us. Not only that, I was free from my household responsibilities like preparing meals and doing laundry, while my husband was able to leave his job responsibilities at the office for the whole long weekend. So we relished the opportunities to listen to Bible teaching twice a day while our children were engaged elsewhere in the children's program. And there were other moments to sit and talk when our kids were busy playing and running around the campground. We came back truly refreshed.
What are your summer camp memories?
Do you have a favorite spot you like to go for getaways?

That sounds heavenly! I could really use a getaway like that.
I want to go to family camp now! My hubby grew up going, but I never went to any sort of camp until I worked at one during college and loved every second of it. Family camp is nice because the kids have fun and the parents have a little break, too.
