This week on the podcast, I'm chatting with camp professional and podcaster Cole Kelly about summer camp and how his family is coping with sheltering at home.</p> <p>Cole and his wife Kate are the owners and directors of <a href= "https://www.weequahic.com/" target="_blank" rel= "noopener noreferrer">Camp Weequahic</a> in Lakewood, Pennsylvania. Cole spends his summers setting the tone for camp, joining in on the fun with the kids, and supporting both the staff members at camp and parents back home in every way possible. While there are too many joys of camp to list, getting the youngest campers’ ‘happies’ each night and leading the weekly Friday Night Campfires are among his favorites. During the off-season, Cole travels to meet potential new families around the world and oversees the preparations for another great summer.</p> <p>Both Kate and Cole have come a long way together from captaining their collegiate teams (soccer at Dartmouth for Kate and golf at Virginia for Cole.) When not talking camp or volunteering in their home community of Athens, GA, Kate and Cole spend their time parenting their three boys – Cole3 (16), Jack (14) and Luke (12) – and caring for Camp Dog Mac.</p> <p><a href= "https://www.campfireconversation.com/summer-camp-podcast" target= "_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer"><img class= "alignleft wp-image-7925 size-medium" src= "https://sunshine-parenting.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/05/PodcastCover-300x300.jpeg" alt="" width="300" height="300" /></a>Cole hosts the Campfire Conversation Podcast:<br /> <a href="https://www.campfireconversation.com/happy-campers" targ
