I went back the next summer, but it was different, because I was moved to a part of the resort where the children were older. It seemed a bit scary at first. I recall my sister was staying there, too, but being a teenager, she and her friends ignored me completely. I did ok, though. There was more than enough excitement to keep me happy. I would describe the resort as very health and wellness focused. Upon being woken up by our activity director, we were forced into a robust morning fitness regime. This included a considerable morning run, followed by calisthenics outside on the basketball court or the track field. Once we had jogged back to our cabin, we washed up and proceeded in a very disciplined, orderly manner (shortest child in front, tallest in the back) to hike to the formal flag raising, led by a drum major in the front. The flag was dutifully raised, accompanied by everyone singing a national anthem. Only now could we all proceed to the dining hall to be served breakfast. You might say this sounds like an overly severe resort for kids, but there were pleasant surprises.
