Editor's Note: Meet Shallon.  She visited ACE Adventure Resort last summer with her Girl Scout troop. Her mother wrote us a letter about their trip. We hope you enjoy it.  Do you have a great vacation story?  We'd love for you to share it with us.

ACE Adventure Resort,

This letter is long overdue but I'm just getting around to writing it.  I wanted to express my appreciation for the programs and staff at ACE Adventure Resort.  I visited with my daughter's Girl Scout troop back in June.  We had a group of about 22 from Michigan on our annual trip down to ACE. 

For my daughter and I, this is our second year.  We once again thoroughly enjoyed our rafting trip (this year with Puppy), zip-lining and my daughter also loved the horseback riding again.  

There's something to be said for this high-adventure activity, but mostly for the wonderful staff that make this so fun, challenging and purely enjoyable.  ACE has such a special place in our hearts for what they have to offer.  You see, my daughter, Shallon, who turned 19, has Down Syndrome.

Making The Vacation Connection In The Airport

One of my favorite things in the world is people watching. That is why an airport is like a feast for the eyes.  It is sensory overload.

I returned from vacation recently, and this is the story.

I am getting ready to turn a certain landmark age. It starts with "F" and rhymes with shorty. As I think back into the shadows of time, things used to be so much easier.

From my desk, I can see the lake on the ACE property. I watch kids and adults alike play on all of the toys on the lake. It reminds me of when I was a kid, going to the pool and swimming so hard all day that I would collapse on the drive home. Overall, it was such a simpler time. Technology was not a curse. It was a luxury. Don't you remember the joy of being a kid in the summer? It seemed like anything was possible.

Zip, zip, hooray

Wow — I want to fly through the air with the greatest of ease, too!

As a child living in Brooklyn, NY, we were fortunate to live close enough to Prospect Park that we could spend almost every afternoon there. My brother and cousin taught me to climb my first tree at the age of 6, and after that you couldn’t keep me out of them.


When our canopy tour was developed, ACE was in the heat of the season and I never got a chance to try it out. I had planned on taking my maiden voyage when things slowed down during October — didn’t happen!

I somehow managed to fall and break my left shoulder in three places, so that definitely ended that plan. Now it’s spring, the weather is getting nicer, my shoulder is healed, and I plan to get out there and soar through the trees instead of just climbing them.

Who’s with me? Who’s more afraid of heights than you are of white water rafting? Which one do you think is more fun?
