Every year my extended family gets together for a week up in the mountains right outside of Yosemite National Park. We go to a family camp called Tuolumne and I'm pretty sure I have only missed a year or two in my entire 30 years. My grandfather, Weldon, use to take my dad and my aunt when they were little and the family has been going ever since. It is the best place in the world and my family are the best peeps in the world - so what could be better?!
The week at "camp" is like camping - light. All the meals are cooked for you and you eat in a dining hall, but you sleep outside in canvas tent/cabins that have beds you put your sleeping bags on. There is a swimming hole, bathrooms, showers, volleyball court, ping pong etc. Adults spend time reading, hiking and relaxing. Kids have endless activities and tons of things to do, but mostly it is swimming and playing in the river - which by the way is Arctic cold. We have so much fun every year. I already can't wait for next year!
