Hi,

We have gone to this homeschooling camp three times, and loved it each
time. The camp is in Southern California, near Big Bear, please see the
website listed below. I know some people came from Arizona before. The
food is wonderful and filling (they do vegan and vegitarian too!), the
people are great, the events are always fun, and if they aren't what you
want to do you can do something else, take a nap, or go for a walk.
Nothing is manditory. The swimming pool will be open as will the hot
tub (not for the kids, Lexie hates that!) The mountains are great, fresh
clean air, and great water. The drive, from LA or OC, isn't that bad,
without traffic we can make it in about 1 hour and 45 minutes, even
going up the mountain! Even with me now teaching school I am figuring
out a way to be there at least for part of it, with Mark being there the
entire time. It is so worth the money! If you have any questions,
email Caroline below. Or I suppose you can ask me.
