This is Alex and I’m writing my first post for our family’s website. let me tell you this was worth it. I am 10 years old and i want to tell you about my summer camp with Adventurelore.
It all started off as a get together at the Adventurelore headquarters. We shared our interests in a game and then we headed off onto the bus. We set up camp after a beautiful trip on the bus. When we arrived it was all just woods but we filled it up with tents.
On the first day it was raining so we hiked trough a long dark tunnel to a waterfall, we splashed and had a great time at the waterfall but it was very cold.
We went back to camp and had hamburgers for dinner cooked on a grill.
On day two after eating disgusting pancakes (Yuck) we headed to the mountains for a hike. The hike was with a group of older kids and we hiked up Artist’s Bluff and saw where The Old Man of the Mountain used to be before it collapsed.
After the waterpark we stopped at a school where we played capture the flag with a beautiful sunset in the background of the field. We ate pizza and went back to camp. The last day we just went into town and bought some gifts and snacks.
The trip was great fun and if you are ready for adventure than Adventurelore is the place for you.
Here I am relaxing watching TV after the trip with the “little hands” I bought at the gift shop.
The campground at Pawtuckaway State Park in Nottingham, New Hampshire is one of the best campgrounds in the state park system. The gateway to the park is through the town of Raymond, New Hampshire. Based around a nice sized lake there is ample opportunities for swimming, canoeing and hiking.
The campground is located on an island and peninsula so most of the sites are lake front. Within easy distance from the sites are canoe or kayak rentals and a nice swimming beach.
This is a great family camping spot with all of the amenities you could want and a lot of activities available. Not a wilderness experience and it can be crowded and buggy at times but ideal for families.
Just outside the town of Raymond, New Hampshire in Nottingham is one of the better state parks in New Hampshire’s State Park System. Pawtuckaway State Park has a good sized lake for swimming and boating, great camping, cabins for rent and hiking opportunities.
Being our local park we take advantage of the nice swimming beach on the lake with its associated playground and picnic areas. The beach is shallow and sandy perfect for young family members.
The campground at the park is spectacular. Many of the sites are nicely spaced and provide a secluded camping experience right on the lakeshore. There are canoe and kayak rentals available. and the swimming beach is only a short walking distance from most sites.
Pawtuckaway is a great park for a week of family camping or if in the area it is also great for day use. If you are staying at the campground and want a night out I suggest The Tuckaway Tavern in Raymond as a good spot for a nice meal. They also have a nice butcher shop to pick up meat for the barbeque.
