Camp

Camp was a blast for both kids this summer. They look forward to their time away from their lives here and come home renewed in subtle and larger ways. Mia goes to running camp in Gunnison, outside of Crested Butte, and spends her days running the most beautiful trails and roads and icing in the freezing waters of the river. Her friendships run deep there and knowing she has this retreat makes so much sense to me. Luca loves his summer camp in Estes (that Mia went to for several years before choosing a few years back to really devote much of her time to running). He went this year nursing a fractured collar bone but that didn't stop him AT ALL. Most of the kids go every year and it's so fun for Luca to be reunited with camp buddies. It's a picturesque spot with a traditional camp feel with a lake, a gorgeous field, and cabins. They are given "awards" every year and this year Luca was given the characteristics of considerate and tenacious which fits his thoughtful but tough exterior. Until next year camp!
