Once upon a time there was a person trying to create community and find a family that wanted their child to go to camp… and their child who wanted & could handle doing that in The Berkshires in late June or a July 2023 for 2 consecutive weeks 9am to 3 pm with a farm, crafts, riverside theme with nice kids and counselors..
After six months of many almost matches ( and details that needed

 Even children know the story as well they should.
