Kimberly may be getting ready for her next New Hampshire escape, and this blog has been discontinued. Thanks for visiting and happy travels!

There's still time, there is...this summer is here for another couple of weeks in fact. Make a reservation for Camp Calumet and experience that much needed flashback to 50s family fun in the great outdoors!

My husband's family has been going to Calumet for over 30 years. Each year I hear all the stories of change and of some lost love, as they bear witness to tents losing out to Winnebagos and even Airstreams [hee hee]. But there must be a reason for them, and many others to go back to Camp Calumet on Lake Ossipee year after year. And reasons there are many.

Calumet runs both day and boarding camps all summer, so the energy is constant and consuming. Their conference center boasts rooms for those who cringe falling asleep to camp cheers and crickets, a community dining hall for those who fear the propane of a camp stove, token front porch rockers for the Rockwells, and now to my husband's delight, free Wi-fi, for those who think the world will crumble if they stop working. What more can you want from camping? Wait, what has all that go to do with sleeping on the ground, swimming, hiking and all evening long campfires? Nothing, but it proves that everyone is a happy camper at Calumet!

So for those who go for the camping...campsites are roomy and level, bathrooms are cleaner than my own at home [but what is that saying?], fire pits boast large cooking grates, and the sandy bottom of Lake Ossipee gets everyone in the water [sometimes even Grammie!] The kids love Beach Games and Beach Crafts run by enthusiastic teens, and canoes and kayaks are available every day too. Calumet has romance too, as the Pontoon Boat leaves the dock at 2pm each afternoon! And lastly, there are many worship opportunities as Calumet is a Lutheran Camp. We love it there, let me know if you go! Halleluyah!
