Winding down from the summer

Posted By: John Chakan

Well, summer has come to a close, and it was another fantastic summer at Plantation.  After Second Session ended, we cleaned up the farm, said goodbye to half of our amazing staff, and welcomed 65 folks to Family Camp.  We had two days of chilly fog (echoing the last two years of Family Camp), but then the sun came out, and we had a blast, swimming in the pool and the lake, hiking down Millers Gulch to the beach (where we also made sand candles), creating piles of tye-dye and silkscreen t-shirts, and dancing all night long in the barn on Saturday night.  Once again, Family Camp was a wonderful way to wrap up the summer, and the families that came embraced how much fun it is to live on the farm.

We have returned from a couple weeks of vacation and now we are back home in Berkeley.  It is good to be back home and we look forward to looking through the photos from this last summer and starting to plan for next summer.
