Pine Tree Camp Update - Luke Sanford

Hi all

Luke has asked us to update on his adventure this week - his annual return to Pine Tree Camp (http://www.pinetreesociety.org/camp.asp). This year there was some new fun and excitement brought on by flying to Boston with his family and camp co-conspirator Stuart Layton (Acadia Kinesiology student). From there we enjoyed an entertaining drive to New Hampshire with Uncle Darrell (Darrell Zwicker - founder of Zoo Nation - http://zoonation.com/). Dad, Stuart and Luke then went on together to Maine.

Before getting to camp we went for a great supper in Freeport followed by a visit to LL Bean (some cool kayaks there).

Exciting times on camp arrival as longtime SMILE volunteer and former SMILE staff member Mel Dash was on hand to greet Luke. Met Cabin 5 leaders - Joe, Josh, Nick, Mike, and Taff. Stuart and Luke settled in and enjoyed a few laughs at the end of a long day.

Luke also wants to let everyone know about a special blog from his good friend - Acadia Basketball Axemen team member Owen Klassen who has a blog at  http://acadiabasketball.com/. Owen is representing Canada in China right now.

Lots of old faces and new faces to become acquainted with. Looking forward to a fun week.

Mel and Stuart will update on adventures so far tomorrow. Luke looks forward to seeing everyone on his return to Nova Scotia next week. 

Thanks

Luke's Dad (James)
