Friday's Grand Connection Fun
by Mary May Larmoyeux
Have you ever heard of Granny Camp?
Anne Dierks, grandmother of fourteen grandchildren, has hosted what she calls Granny Camp for more than a decade. In her book Granny Camp! How to Bond with Your Grandchildren she not only explains how to plan a special summer camp for the grandchildren, but also includes menu ideas, possible activities, crafts, and much more.
Granddad Dierks is involved in Granny Camp with Anne. She says that one of the campers' favorite activities is Granddad's G's. She gives examples of Gs that Granddad Dierks teaches such as: Golden rule, Goals, God/Gospel, Grades, Genealogy, etc.
The Dierks' grandchildren live in various states and fly in once a year for the special camp. From the pictures in Anne's book it's obvious that the cousins have made some really special memories together!
Have you ever had a special camp/weekend for all of your grandkids? Or, do you have any thoughts about organizing something like this in the future?
Have a great weekend,
Mary
