Now that we are full capacity at the Pine Grove Christian Camp, here in sunny or not so sunny Saratoga, the atmosphere is always full of brilliance despite some more or less constant dampness in the weather. Nothing dampens the spirits here with all that is planned and all the wonderful improvements that have been made for the families to enjoy!
Below, opening day newbies to daycare at the camp, teen helper Jessika in command, answers a chorus of " why did my Mommy leave me here?" first day inquiries, ( amidst smiles all the while). I tried to help with my great talent in dealing with little kids, telling them to look for a moose, which was NOT a lie, there was one at track last month..so got "when are we going to see a moose?" for about 30 seconds then back to the resounding, "why did my Mommy leave me?".
No doubt they will all be fully immersed in fun stuff here,and those questions will be only a memory shortly. We have a wonderful local artist, Daniele Ippoliti, coming to do art courses with the kids and families starting Saturday the 8th, at 11 AM. She incorporates teaching excellent moral character to the kids and concept of sustainability with a closing lesson of auctioning off the project they create to a charity of their choice. It is an immense blessing to have her so generously and selflessly come offer her time, talent and passion to our family here at Pine Grove.
Please check out here website at; http://www.characterofnature.com/ to see the beautiful work she does and read of her unique skills and lessons taught.
Life is good at Pine Grove Christian Camp! Come join us for some great art and see the kids in action, Amy
