Ski Camp, Anyone?

There are all kinds of summer camps out there. There's language immersion camp for Gabriel. I'm sure there's some kind of music camp for Dominic. But, today, I found the perfect camp for Xavier. The boy goes nonstop 24 hours a day. Although TaeKwonDo is slowing him down at night!

Anyway, Xavier loves snow. He lives for snow. When we lived in Maine, he lived for the snowplows. He had his own snowplow matchbox car. He was two. I would bring in a pan of snow and he would play for hours with that snowplow. He played quite happily in the snow for hours. He has been a passionate snow shoveler for 6 years. When he was 3, he shoveled all the neighbor's walks while they were at work. He started shoveling as soon as the first flake started falling. This winter, we're going to learn to ski. Of course, it'll only be one day of skiing, but he'll get the basics. I have a feeling he'll have another passion.

So, today, I found a summer camp that is a skiing camp. A summer camp! Well, I'll admit, he won't be going any time soon. Gabriel has to get his language immersion camp, first. But, some day, this would make a wonderful experience for him. Can you imagine anything more pleasurable to a snow-boy than snow in the summer?
