I love this new version of family camp, especially because it reminds me, almost exactly, of my family Thanksgiving growing up. My dad was the third of 12 children and my grandparents began renting out a local summer camp when I was about one year old. We spent the four day weekend together with all of the kids on rollerskates, talent shows, football. Teens and adults had cooking and KP duty in the kitchen, while kids were “hoppers” setting the tables and clearing them (often kn skates). We always had a church service. It was my favorite holiday. My grandparents are in heaven now, but my cousins have taken over and it’s bigger and better than ever, with more people and pickleball and volleyball. I am nearly 50 and I cherish the memories and look forward to the years to come. I grew close with my 50+ first cousins and still am as a result of my grandparents efforts.

Loved all the new ideas especially the concept of letting the next-generation carry the banner. Kudos to you and Johnny!! (Especially loved that you guys thought the music was "loud").
