Mary Frances and I went to Camp McDowell for a Mother/Daughter Weekend Camp. We did this with one of my dear friends from high school and beyond. Margaret Day and I are a grade apart, and our friendship developed through track, SGA, and Young Life. We have both always been "campers". We both grew up going to summer camp and think that it was instrumental in our development. We also both have girls who are about 2 1/2 months apart though will be a grade apart in school because of the way their birthdays fall. We do not live in the same city but try to keep in touch as well as possible with young busy families. Margaret Day ran accross the information for this weekend last year, but we could not participate for a variety of reasons mainly our girls were too young. The brouchure says the activiities are intended for children 5 and older but I would say our 4 1/2 year olds did quite well.
The girls were fast friends. Margaret Day and I reflected afterward that they were well matched ~ one did not dominate the other.
We canoed, hiked, napped, played on the playground and ate snacks. We walked across the swinging bridge and the girls watched their mommies do the trust swing which is a part of the high ropes course.
In general, it was a low key relaxing weekend with the girls.
Camp was fun for all!
