A.R.E. Camp


These photos were taken A.R.E. Camp, in Southeastern Virginia, in August.

My children attended this camp and now their children attend every summer, and most of them went back in August for this camp reunion, which was attended by over 350 former campers and their families. In some cases, there were four generations who had gone to the camp over the years.

A.R.E. stands for The Association for Research and Enlightenment, which is headquartered in Virginia Beach, VA.

It is a beautiful place, full of loving, accepting and compassionate people. If you are seeking a sleep-away camp for your children, I couldn't recommend this one any more heartily!

This is something we don't have - as far as I'm aware. They sound a good thing.

If I had lived closer when Nyssa was little, she would have loved this. I talked to her Friday night and told her to get me some pictures from the Reno Balloon Race that is going on this weekend. The release point with all the hot air balloons is right at the edge of her campus. So colorful!

It looks very serene and pastoral. Was the weather real hot in August?
