Some of my favourite childhood memories stem from the three summers I spent at camp in Northern Minnesota and those experiences contributed to my decision to live a rural lifestyle in the backwoods of British Columbia. Given the current social problems of childhood obesity and what is termed the “nature deficit disorder,” it would be wonderful if more children could experience the joys of summer camps. Here in the Shuswap there are seven summer camps, with most of them run by faith-based organizations.
