Loved it. Mr. George told some great stories and the kids loved making smores.
One of the best things I did this summer! Awesome time awesome tour guide.
Great day, very rewarding to help out.
A good trip, however the leader had no record of our pre-registration when we arrived. The weather for the evening was perfect and it was a good, but albeit very brief trip of less than an hour on the water. Somewhere between "meh" and "It was great".
The kids really enjoyed it! They loved seeing all those caterpillars on the 2 trees! Thanks!
My kids really enjoyed it, even though we couldn't see any stars with all the clouds! We are really hoping to do another evening one sometime soon to see the stars with Mr. George!
I began visiting Cowans Gap in 1956 @ the age of 9. My family rented a cabin for a week at a time at least once a year and weekends probably 3-4 times a year, which included Thanksgiving weekend. Nothing will ever replace those memories. It had been a long time (1964) since I had been there but I told my wife about my trips there and all the fond memories I had. In 1992 my wife and I visited my parents who had relocated from Philadelphia to Saxton. My wife told my mother of my stories and memories and Mom quietly told my Dad. So we went to visit the next day. Upon entering the park from Burnt Cabins we parked by the dam and walked across the dam. Many memories flooded my brain and my wife understood the peace I had by way of the incredible views. The sand beach; the up-welling springs and their cold spots; the concession and boat rental bring back more memories. Although the park had changed (loss of 3 "lake side cabins (with indoor running water)) and the "Honeymooners cabin" (no electricity) by the camping area, this park will never be replaced by any other park as #1.
Enjoyed painting outside. Stretched me to paint my own painting. Met great people and enjoyed see their work
This was an awesome, very educational event! My kids had a great time and we all learned a lot! This was our first event and we are sad that Renae is relocating. Please, please, please carry on the Homeschool days!
