Camp always starts with a smile as the boys walk across the covered bridge for check-in. Here’s what we saw of Mason this week on camera. Mason’s unit, Chabanel, wears gold shirts and this was the first night of inspection. Mason’s unit leader was Lucas (the middle man of three in blue shirts). Mason has […]
The pickup today could not have been sweeter. We had smiles and stories all the way home.
To say the kids were eager to get (back) to camp would be an understatement. Though the gates don’t open until 1 pm, they insisted upon leaving at 8 am. I guess we should have wrapped up a minute faster at the pit stop because we pulled into camp behind the car that got the […]
Inspection at Camp It’s been a joy of watching Mason pop up in this week’s camp photos on Bunk 1. He and the Amantacha unit survived the first night of inspection. Mason absolutely loves gaga ball. As soon as we get to camp, he makes his way to the gaga pit. He’s watching this game […]
Summer is officially here now that Mason is headed to his first week of summer camp at Ondessonk. He was so eager to get there and get started that we left our house before 8 am. It’s a two hour drive and the gates open at 1 pm promptly. That meant that we had a […]

The earth was starting to wake up from winter. He was happy to learn that he was staying this weekend in Garnier because he […]
Welcome to Walker’s Birthday weekend! In lieu of a party, Walker opted to have dinner out with friends and go camping at his happy place. We made the reservation last month and booked Walker’s favorite unit—Raganeau. When we arrived, we saw our names on list for the weekend lodging on the camp chalkboard. We arrived […]
It was finally time to pick Walker up! I will go on record to say that I embarrassed the heck out of my son but I didn’t mean to. I was that mom who enthusiastically waved to him through the window of the dining hall. My salutation was greeted with a look that said, “Go […]
Today we dropped Walker off at Camp Ondessonk. When we planned his camp schedule, we signed him up for Traditional Camp this week but since he got inducted into Lodge earlier this summer, our options changed. Attending Lodge Week with the other Lodge campers was too exciting an option to pass up. Walker’s unit was […]
Though this was not Mason’s first week at camp, it was his first week as a traditional camper. Prior weeks were spent as a mini camper. For the first time, his unit was comprised of kids of all ages and he was now able to participate in some new activities. The first of these took […]
