Introducing Camp Mom & Office Manager Sally!

What an opportunity! Have you ever had one of those days when you wish you could run away from home, but take your children with you? Here I am! You found me at The Ranch! I'm Sally, Mom of Trent and Dillon, six year old twin boys. I work with children in my everyday business, McGruff Safe Kids Total Identification System in Manatee and Sarasota Counties. At camp, I also get to enjoy the children, yours and mine! Camp life is another world where we start the day with a positive thought and gathering as a group to salute our nation. We're not surrounded by the negatives of the real world, like the news or the economic challenges of our days. We enjoy a life which is more simple and active. I watch my boys run from activity to activity and I thrive on an idea of "taking a village to raise a child". Parenthood can wear us down and at camp, we have a team of happy, college bound or educated, responsible groups teaching our kids to enjoy being a kid! It's a moment to take a breath and re-charge, letting them go and trusting them. It's hard and I've had some long nights trying to remember that camp is an opportunity for our children to learn a lot about who they are (without the props) and allowing them to test their limitations (mine, too!). Wow! Heavy stuff - but good stuff! Ok! I promise to be reporting to you about the AWESOME fun our kids are having and about their worthwhile challenges. Also, since I'm here each day with your children as well as mine, I see a lot and feel good about being soft place to fall if they need it.
