The summer might be over, but we’re not done here at the Farm! Many new things are happening in this fall – the time for change! Firstly – we would like to welcome a new addition to the Farm Camp Family – little Benjamin Chartier was born in the middle of September, weighing in at weighed 8 lbs 3 oz, and 21 inches long. Beth brought home an addition to the Barn as well – a new LLAMA!!! (Photo coming soon!) I had to add the photo above of Matt because all of my campers this summer helped to plant the Alien Garden – we planted tiny little bean plants and morning glories… no one expected that they would literally take over the plant tee-pee! So thanks to all of you guys out there that helped on this – so cool to see it finally done!

As you probably know, after the summer chaos is done, we work hard the rest of the year to make next summer even better! I know, speaking for myself, that I would love to get some feedback on what people liked/didn’t like about this summer. Feel free to email either John (jchartier@frostvalley.org) or myself (leighmcgonagle@gmail.com) to let us know what you think. I may come up with a survey to send out if that’s easier, but we’ll see what we get for responses first. So if you (as a parent or camper) have any fun ideas, other things to incorporate or think about for next year – let us know! We love to hear from you! (And I can tell you that little Hannah misses everyone too – John says she asks to go to the Dining Hall to see everyone all the time but there isn’t anyone there… until next summer anyway!)

Happy Fall! Can’t wait to hear from you all, all the best and enjoy spending time with your families during the holidays!
