"It's a pleasure to offer to others the fun times had at Gilmore Camps. We are a family of 4 who bacame good friends through our teenage daughters, with a family that had been vacationing at Gilmore Camps for a few years when we decided to join them. We had the best time ever! The accommodations were great, the water breathtaking, especially at sunrise & sunset! The loons... add to the Steven King effect, whom we ran into in town 3 times, I must add!
Good times were had by all, children and adults. In fact, about 6 years later, teens now grown, we 2 families will again meet in the woods, by the lake. A beautiful spot, rain or shine (as long as Bob brings his guitar and Tommy his voice and side splitting dance moves).
Looking forward to our annual get together again this August! See you then."
