Tom is home from a week away at Springhill camp. Springhill Camp is in Evart MI and is truly a hidden treasure for Mid Michigan. This camp is amazing. We had not heard about Springhill until last year and when we decided Tom would be emotionally ready to be gone for a week, we signed him up!
Here he is with his camp cabin counselors, who were very dynamic, goofy and all around excited for the campers week ahead. We are so impressed with this camp's website. Everything is done online... you can register, make payments, fill out forms, and most importantly, when the kids are at camp you can email your camper and also see daily camp photos taken of all the kids at camp and posted every day.
This week was hard for us at home, but we all looked forward to checking the website for pics of Tom every night and looked forward to his postcards in the mail.
Springhill is a christian based camp, but those kids learned so much more than just lessons about God. There are zip lines and swimming activities and horseback riding and when they get to the older camp, there are extreme sports!
Rick and I were very impressed with the staff and the organization when we dropped Tom off on Sunday. The cabins were clean and Tom was shy but never did he say he wanted to go home. He said his week was great and he is ready to go back next year and hopefully with a buddy or two! Check it out! It is so awesome. The wrap up ceremonies on Friday, when we picked Tom up were tear-jerkers! Very relevant situations and absolutely heartfelt devotional stories from some of the campers. We are very proud of Tom for going to camp with no one he knew in his cabin and joined by 3 cousins, who he sometimes saw at gatherings.
So, please enjoy the summer and keep reading our blog! Happy Birthday America!
