… and grandparents, relatives, alumni and friends! Saturday marked visiting day for the first session at Pok-O-MacCready. What MacCready director Melissa Livsey calls “Day off for the campers” was a day of fun, socializing, good food, shopping, movies, recreation and a buffet picnic lunch at camp. Here are just a few of the diverse activities, as reported by the kids:
Ethan: “We stayed at camp and I showed my parents my bunk. Then we went to the mall where I saw The Secret Life of Pets, ate popcorn and candy, and got some new stuff.”
Kylor: “We played tetherball and I showed my parents my activities. We swam in Lake
Champlain, which is colder than Long Pond, and had a nice dinner.”
Lucia: “We went to see Finding Dory— it was really good. We also went to Target and Subway. It was a nice break but I missed camp!”
Ben: “My grandparents brought my cousins. We went to their cabin, and went to Ethel’s for ice cream.”
Victoria: “It was nice to see my parents. I jumped out of my seat when I saw my mom. We went to see a movie, and bought some shorts. I was happy to go out but I missed camp.”
Jerry: “It was awesome! There was an arcade, a movie (also Finding Dory), which I would recommend. Also, I ate 99-cent nachos: cheap and good.”
Martin B: “Secret Life of Pets… Subway sandwich… arcade”
And lest we forget the parents! “It was spectacular,” raved Danielle. “It was so great being back at Pok-O 30 years after my last year as a camper!”
