Six years ago I began French Camp with my oldest grandchildren, and they've been going on every summer except the year we were in the throes of selling our beautiful log home. It was my daughter-in-law's idea, based on the week-long French Camps I had attended in Edmonton, while teaching school. Caleb and Emma were being home schooled at the time, so it was supposed to enhance their education. I'm amazed at what they've learned over the years, and every year we add to it.
