The Masonic Children's Home residents enjoyed a fun summer. The highlight was when the staff took the children on group vacations. The Smith Cottage of elementary school-age children and the Eisenlohr Cottage high school girls went to Ocean City, MD. The Baehr Cottage girls had a fun week in Ocean City, NJ, while the Lloyd Cottage boys went to Williamsburg, VA.

The young men of Harrison Cottage vacationed at the Georgia Masonic Home Camp near Savannah. Because it was very hot there, the boys spent much of their time riding in boats, swimming, or tubing in the nearby river.

The boys even fished in the Atlantic Ocean in boats provided by a local Masonic lodge. Sea turtles, dolphins, and Spanish mackerel were a few of the "ocean critters" they encountered. They were even up close to an alligator! Three young men and staff members from the Masonic Children's Home in Macon, GA, also were at the camp. The boys enjoyed chicken, crab, and various other entrees. It is hoped that this will be the beginning of a yearly exchange program with Masonic children's homes throughout the country.
