We called ours "cousin camp"and it involved whole families and the grandparents. Hard to do now as they are so spread out and the great grandchildren are arriving. I have been most pleased with the closeness of the cousins. Of course the ones who live close are even closer but they all keep in constant touch with the help of todays technology and overcome the distance. For one on ones, for years the grandchildren who live closest receive a date with grandma as their birthday present. Love them all as a group but wonderful to get to spend one on one time with them.

I love this idea. I wondered about logistics, such as, do you have other adults helping you? Does the Grammie camp go for 2 weeks? How do you handle meals? Are these details covered in your book
"Grandmothering"? I'm planning on buying the book. Thank you for these wonderful articles on Grandparenting !!
