Camping night at Oak Trace was a hit 🏕️✨
We turned the courtyard into a campground with s’mores, camp songs with Rick Pickren, yard games, and families camping under the stars (and a few “indoor campers” too 😄).

Grilled cheese, corn dogs, and a cozy breakfast kept everyone fueled, and the whole night was just pure fun from start to finish.

In our community, there is always something fun to do!

It’s moments like these that remind me how special life here is, always bringing people together in the best way.
