One of the treasures of Family Camp vacations for me is the moments of Quiet. Though much of camp is filled with fun and laughter, games and activities, it is also set in over a thousand acres of Northern Minnesota lake country.

I and my husband are both creatures who need some solitude every so often. (His friends couldn’t belie
