SILVER BAY: FUN FOR ALL (RE)DISCOVERING SILVER BAY

What better Christmas present could a widowed grandmother of twelve give her grandchildren? A family reunion at Silver Bay!

When we arrived the first year, we were immediately drawn to the beauty of the lakeside campus, the backdrop of the surrounding mountains and the charm of the buildings, especially the Inn and it’s wrap around porch equipped with Adirondack rockers.

Our interracial family ranged in age from 5 to 75 and there was something for everyone. The two moms cherished the free time that having the kids in camp offered them. One chose tennis and the mother of nine chose a shower. The kids each enjoyed the variety of activities and camaraderie they experienced at camp and the opportunity to repeat those activities or create their own long into the evening. I enjoyed doing some craft projects, on my own and with varied grandchildren, watching the kids come and go, playing board games and reading. My kids will tell you, I also like to “make friends!”

At the end of that first week, my daughter said, “I think we should come every year for as long as we can.” And that is the plan. Silver Bay offers us the opportunity to come together as a family to play and relax in a beautiful, wholesome, and safe environment. The youngest grandchild says, “Silver Bay is the best Christmas present ever”!
