EVEN A NONDIVING
MOM FINDS PEACE AT KIDS SEA CAMP
By Janet Martin, three-time Kids Sea Camp family and a nondiver
So, I wanted to tell you about two things that happened to me today that reminded me of Kids Sea Camp.To be truthful, there is really not a day that goes by that someone in our family doesn’t speak of Kids Sea Camp.
It is Aug. 15.This morning, when I woke up and went downstairs to the kitchen
to make coffee, I looked
out the window saw the subtle changes of the season. The color of the water
was different, the wind was blowing the trees differently
and, when I opened the door, the air had a crispness to it and it smelled different — it smelled like fall! Ahh! I love fall, but it means winter is
just around the corner. I am not a fan of winter. I try to embrace it, but my thoughts always return to Kids Sea Camp. I think of Kids Sea Camp and I’m a nondiver, that’s how amazing the weeks are.
The second thing that happened was with my son. We went to get the mail, and he received an envelope from PADI. He was beyond excited. Enclosed was his PADI Seal Team card. His smile will be in my memories forever. He is a PADI Seal because of Kids Sea Camp.
Kids Sea Camp is special
to us. Perhaps that is why
we think of it often. Our children now can explore and experience things in life that before they would not have had the opportunity to do.
My name is Janet Martinz. My husband,Tim, and our two children, Isaac (8) and
Allie (5), would like to tell you about our experience with Kids Sea Camp. It has taken me a long time to focus on describing what Kids Sea Camp truly means to me. I have had a lot of thoughts run through my head, but
I keep coming back to the word “peace.” Kids Sea
