Jeanine and I made the three hour drive to Plymouth, Vermont where Maya has been attending Farm & Wilderness Camp for the last three weeks. Our first stop was at the Coolidge State Park where we took advantage of day light to setup our tent before completing our journey. We could hardly wait to see Maya and the reunion was wonderful. She was full of exuberance and stories about her adventures and her new and old friends.
The day is structured around a fair which starts at noon and goes until dusk featuring many fun activities (water flume, hand build Ferris wheel, zip line, pie throwing, music, food, and arts and crafts. A camp tradition involves cracking a confetti filled egg over the head of your parents and friends. Jeanine gave as good as she got.
Campers will spend one last night together before they are gathered by parents tomorrow. Jeanine and I enjoyed an intimate dinner at a slow food restaurant in Woodstock followed by an outdoor concert and fire dancing.
