FROM THE OWNERS - END OF SEASON MESSAGE
Dear Families of Green Acres Family Campground,
We blinked- and summer was over! The last days of camping season can be emotional for all of us; after all, we have lived, played, learned, wept, laughed, and grown together over the summer months. The magical thing about the campground is that it's more than a place where we spend the summer. It's a community to which our campers belong to all year long. The bonds of friendship forged here at the campground are uniquely strong, and it can be hard to say goodbye, even when we know we'll see each other again. Some people who haven't experienced camping don't understand the magic in a plot of land, campers scattered about, and the scent of a campfire in the air. They don't get the joy of inside jokes, or the remember when's. The magic in camping is that time stops, and everything that seemed to be your giant to conquer just disappears.
We want to thank all of you for another wonderful season at Green Acres Family Campground! This summer had many memorable moments, and we are grateful we were able to provide a happy place to create them with your family despite the COVID-19 restrictions. The weather was as close to perfect as it will ever be, the water was warm, and everyone's spirits were high. Many of you immersed yourselves in nature, explored new places, made new friends, and tried out new things. Thanks to you and your children, we had an incredible summer season, and hopefully, you did as well!
We always have an eye on the future of Green Acres Family Campground and the excitement that lies ahead as we continue to grow. Once again, you spoke, and we listened! The Fall of 2020 brought us 18 new full hook up campsites in the West Field that includes two group camping sites that will house four campers awning to awning, three overnight campsites, and seven seasonal sites! You see, the wonderful thing about camp is that it's more than just a place. It's an experience that becomes a part of who we are, and we hope that these newest sites will fulfill your camping experience at Green Acres Family Campground!
As the days grow cooler and the leaves have changed to vibrant hues before falling to the ground, we will take some time to reflect and unwind from the summer of 2020. We persevered through the rapidly evolving situation of COVID-19 with your understanding and cooperation. An enormous THANK YOU goes out to our camping families who showed up this past season with a skip in their walk and zest for life! YOU are the reason we do what we do. Our hearts are full of gratitude for your ongoing loyalty to us as without you; our little campground would not have survived.
It won't be long, and we'll be off and running with plans for the summer of 2021, so stay tuned! Over the past few years, we've been working on increasing camper involvement in planning and leading activities on the weekend. If you have a great idea to share or one you'd like to Champion, please bring it forward, and we will do what we can within reason to make it happen. We look forward to further developing this model together with our campers.
Once again, thank you for being a part of another incredible summer! We can't wait to have you back again next year! In the meantime, may God bless and keep you all safe.
Our love,
Kevin & Angie
