Summer on Conway Lake

By Rick Biche

I am not sure that I fully understood how great the experience of growing up on a lake was until I had the opportunity to watch the experience again through the eyes of my own child.  I was so fortunate that my parents made the decision to buy a place on the water when I was young.  Now the property has passed hands and I understand what really motivated my parents.  The times are irreplaceable.  That first dive off the dock, discovering a loon nesting on an island (yes, we got out of there quick so as not to disturb), the first time sailing, watching children playing in the sun and water…

I came across this wonderful little video about summer on Conway Lake.  I think in many ways is gives a nice picture of many ways that lakeside living is unique and special.

According to Richard Louv, in Last Child in the Woods, children need time to play, seek and discover in natural areas in order to grow and prosper emotionally and intellectually.  He cites evidence linking experience in nature at a young age to creativity, success and happiness.  And, he says, parents need nature too.

In our busy lives it is often difficult to find and structure time to be outside, somewhere special with family and friends.  For my family spending summers, summer weeks and weekends on the lake makes it that much easier.
