Muskoka Woods

Seeing as my energy level is up this week, Steve has decided to take the week off…a vacation long overdue. We’re heading up to Muskoka this morning to visit Muskoka Woods, which is a camp that the Groves are very involved with. Steve and his brothers, Mark and Jamie, were campers there and Mark and Jamie also worked at the camp. Today, Mark and his wife Sandra work for the camp and spend the summers there with their three girls. Muskoka Woods has a driving range that is special to the Groves. The driving range was dedicated to Jamie, who passed away from cancer 11 years ago today. So, we look forward to getting up to the camp to visit with Mark and Sandra and the girls, to hitting some balls, and to relaxing and enjoying the view of Lake Rosseau from the driving range.

Jamie’s courage, strength and sense of humor continue to help me keep fighting on a daily basis. Thanks Jamie.

I attended Muskoka Woods for several years myself - it's a very special place to me too. Hope you have a relaxing, peaceful time there!

Hi Kim,

It's tough to top an evening like last night. Professionally Guided Boat Cruise of Lake Rosseau, bath/shower in the lake, campfire with smores, and most of all, family. Thanks for stopping by!!

Love,

Mark, Sandra, Emily, Brianna & Sarah
