I spent my childhood summers at Brantwood Camp. First as a camper and then, for many years after, as a counsellor. Well, my children have followed in my footsteps and have gone to Brantwood now with Antone finally reaching the age where he can go. He has been talking about getting to go for years – just like his sister – and took to Brantwood life like a fish to water!

Antone, in the picture above, is sporting his Brantwood hat – which he earned for finishing all of his challenges, he has his B-Jersey on – which one shack wins for earning the most points during the term, and he won a stayover – one of the highest honors a camper can get -which allows him to return to camp for free!

Even after all of that, we were informed this past week that Antone also won the Cook-Hall-Peirce Cup, the award for the best new camper of the summer. This is such an honor and we are so proud of this kid!

My last visit to Book Love, a young man came up to me to show me the puppet he made of himself. He told me that after seeing my show he was inspired to make his own puppet and do shows of his very own! The best part for me is the doughnut in his mouth!

Sign up today and make sure to be ready to have a blast as we discuss the importance of reading at home and great tips and tricks to make story time so much more exciting!

It’s funny, but I always seem to begin missing summer even before the summer ends. As August comes to a close I begin already wanting more time to enjoy lobster rolls and beach walks. This is the last week of summer before schools begins so I hope everyone really enjoys themselves!

I love being able to open my emails and finding a really sweet message like this. It truly means a lot as the art of storytelling really does mean very much to me. Being able to share the stories with children all over is the greatest feeling in the world!
