Amazing “Family Camp” Experiences

I have some awesome memories of summers on Echo Lake in Readfield, Maine — the fresh, pine-scented air, the call of the loons, the warmth of a blazing campfire. Most of all, I loved sharing the camp experiences — horseback riding, swimming across the lake, performing in the camp plays — with my sister and my friends. As an adult, I’ve been fortunate to share many of these opportunities with my husband, my children and my parents as well. I’ll never forget when my mom, who was in her mid-fifties at the time, water skied around the lake at Woodloch Pines Resort just to prove to my then-8-year-old daughter that she could do it! And I’ve been continuing the tradition, maintaining the title of the only slalom skiier in my family to date.

Of course, our “camp” vacations as a family have been several steps up from my bunkbeds-and-bug-juice days in terms of accommodations and amenities. There are a whole host of destinations that can give your group that camp feeling with a luxurious twist. You’ll be able to share activities and experiences and create memories to last a lifetime, all while enjoying the comfort of beautiful accommodations, gourmet dining, and even pampering spa treatments. Which of the options below is right for your crew?
