Blue Haven
Summer is when kids usually go off to camp, but what about the rest of the family? The GAA’s Camp Blue Heaven offers a chance each year for the whole family
to spend a weekend in August at the facilities of Camp Cheerio in the North
Carolina mountains playing games, soaking in the scenery, visiting with old friends
and making new ones. There also are opportunities to learn something new, whether
a bit of everyday science or how to follow through on your jump shot. ■

Archery and riflery were among the supervised activities that
camp participants could try at this year’s Camp Blue Heaven.
“
I t’s smart. And it”s oftentimes
f unny. For believers in North
Carolina barbecue, for the faithful
who seek the smoky grail, this is it,
the gospel truth.”

Horseback riding offered a great way to take in the
scenery. Camp Blue Heaven also is about learning
with friends, young and not quite so young, such as
exploring science or honing basketball skills with Eric
Montross ’ 94.

Water is a key element
of any camp experience, whether it’s paddling a canoe, cooling
off in the pool, fishing
in the lake with a
buddy or taking a
thrilling ride down the
side of a hill on the
water slide.
