Maybe next year. It helps to have pictures, makes me want to go! <br /><br />Poor Sweetie Pie, bumping her head like that. I can relate, poor Henry still has a scab on his nose. It's really deep and may end up scarring. <br /><br />Oh yeah, I was also going to say that the picture of the fallen tree reminds me of the one that fell on our back porch during a storm last year. Me and Dennis never heard it fall. (Our bedroom window faces the back porch.) I woke up in the morning and looked out the window and saw nothing but leaves, lol.Beckyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10451590537173713861noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7056332983367489033.post-57009873384299330062013-07-03T13:50:57.298-05:002013-07-03T13:50:57.298-05:00Awww...now you just made us (Lily's reading ov...Awww...now you just made us (Lily's reading over my shoulder) really sad we missed it :( Of course, with the storms and almost two days without power over that time, we may not have been able to go any way. *sigh* I guess God had it all figured out.

It's actually only a weekend, from Thursday evening (after supper) til Sunday morning after breakfast, so not sure it would be worth it to travel so far for just a few days. There is no information on their website, I think the camps that are on their website are week long camps, and it's actually owned by Baptist people and they have Christian camps. I think how it started was a group, like the one we went with, a Catholic church in the Twin Cities, Epiphany, got a group of people together to go, they probably had to have a certain number of people in order to rent (the camp) it for the weekend, so they branched out to other friends, etc....so someone in our Catholic homeschool group sent a notice about needing families...this family I know has gone for the last 4 or 5 years, so it's been going on for a while. <br /><br />I was told by the other blogger I met, Heather, that she thinks there is another Catholic group that goes later in the summer, Margaret, (MN Mom) has gone with that particular group.) Again, I'm sure it's started with one parish and branched out to fill the camp so it can be rented out. <br /><br />The cost was (for our "Chalet" place) $635. My husband thinks that's kind of spendy, but I think it's reasonable, considering all the meals and that it didn't matter how many kids you had...There are other options, cabins are cheaper and there is another building similar to ours, without sinks in the rooms, and kind of farther away from everything, about 100 bucks cheaper. (we needed the bigger priced one because Tom needed the larger bed ours featured, he's really tall--6 ft 6, so he slept diagonally in a full size bottom bunk)<br /><br />If you want to email me your information, I can always send you the information next year when it comes out and you can decide if it would be worth it (of course I'd love to meet you!)

So much fun and I agree with what you said about the older kids being able to go off and do their own thing (and stay safe at the same time.) Poor little one with the nasty tumble and lost teeth. And so awesome that you met Heather! I thought little Esther looked familiar! That's so great when blog friends become real life friends :) And yes, I hope your husband back is on the mend sooner than later.Pattyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01651016998027244516noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7056332983367489033.post-74763236997153039582013-07-02T18:28:40.282-05:002013-07-02T18:28:40.282-05:00What a blessing!

There is one in Ohio, but it doesn't have all the water activities like Camp Lebanon has, and you have to bring and cook most of your own food. Do you have an opinion whether it would be worth driving 19 hours for? And where is the information about when it would be for next year? (It's not on their website, for what I can see). Thanks so much!carrie31https://www.blogger.com/profile/13908389861831335161noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7056332983367489033.post-57751147786974409702013-07-02T13:54:08.704-05:002013-07-02T13:54:08.704-05:00That looks fun.....I haven't seen family camp ...That looks fun.....I haven't seen family camp here...is it many parishes?
