Vescio brothers - once campers, now parents

This ongoing blog started out specifically for the purpose of featuring visits back to Frost Valley of former campers and former staff - and of focusing on the children of former staffers who are now themselves attending camp. Each session there are many, many of these kids. It's by now impossible to keep track. We're doing an intergenerational thing. I have talk after talk with these parents who, fondly remember their own summers here, have the strongest and keenest feelings about their children falling in love with the place. When the magic does its thing, the parents are almost happier than the kids.

That founding purpose for the blog remains, although readers here will note that I write on and report about lots of other things too. But today we're back to celebrating the generations. John Vescio and Chris Vescio, brothers who were campers here when I was a director, each have had children in camp this past session. Here's a photo of the whole gang, plus yours truly. Chris has stepped up and is the 2013 Chairperson of Project 332 (thanks, Chris); he's in the yellow shirt.
