Wander project Waycross Camp (Indiana)

There is a place in Southern Indiana that we went to often. It was a camp owned and run by the Episcopal Chruch of Indianapolis. The camp was called Waycross. I suspect over the course of ten years we went there at least 30 times. The camp has an interesting family history. My wife went to the camp when she was a young person and was a counselor at the camp as a young adult. The camp was one of her favorite places.

The history takes an interesting turn in that Waycross remains my daughter’s favorite place in SOuther Indiana. She also went to the camp as a camper. She worked there as a counselor in training and as a counselor.  I guess the old like mother, like daughter saying holds true. We, as a family also went a couple of times to the camp for Chruch retreats. We got to wander the entire camp including walking around the lake and visiting the facilities.

We kept our boat near Waycross at that time as well. The last family members that went to Waycross were the twins. They spent a week at the camp when they were old enough. My wife and I got our first taste of what a big house is like when you have no kids in it. It is disturbing and lonely. When you’re used to the noise of children being all around you; not having the noise changes everything. Now, things are different as we don’t have the noise of kids in the house anymore.
