Some of my best growing-up memories were of being a Girl Scout and going to camp. I loved the swimming, archery, canoeing and cooking on the open fire. We had a great troop leader and spent many Friday nights making sloppy joes, s'mores and campfires. As an adult I have done some camping and canoeing, but let me tell you, you have not "camped" as an adult till you attend "Joan Lunden's Camp Reveille". I had always watched Joan on Good Morning America and kind of kept track of her through the years. As a part-time Maine resident, I had been thinking about joining the camping scene as a "worker". In July, as I was poking around on some of the camp sites, I ran across Camp Takajo, the companion camp for Tripp Lake girls camp. (Joan and husband Jeff own both Takajo and Tripp) Tripp Lake is one of my favorite lakes in Maine and I always said when I retire I want to work at the girls camp. Anyway, I see on the Takajo site that Joan has this women's camp every summer after the boys are gone from Takajo. So what is Camp Reveille? Camp Reveille is the most unique experience. It's about relaxing, networking, wellness and just plain fun. The camp is in August... August 18-21, 2011, starts on Thursday and ends on Sunday. In 2010 there were about 140 women from all over the US. I think the youngest was around 24 years old and the oldest in her 70's. As the name "Reveille" implies, it's about new beginnings, wake-up calls, time to get re-charged and re-focused. Joan's message was simply, we are the ones always taking care of everyone else in our family and eco-system. Camp Reveille is about taking care of us. I would encourage you to visit the website to learn more and make your reservations to attend next summer. Summer in Maine is beautiful and you will not regret giving yourself this "special gift".

About meA southern girl at heart, I have been moving and decorating all my life. I enjoy the hunt as much as putting the finished arrangement together. I love to mix old and new together, especially old silver and country store display items. It's all about comfort and making your house a home. Archives
