Good things happen in the great outdoors, especially with those who matter most. To celebrate Summer’s imminent arrival, we invited eight families to Getaway Lake Hartwell, outside Atlanta, to immerse themselves in nature and connect on a deeper level. We spent 36 hours in nature together, taking family portraits, doing yoga, creating vision boards, hiking at Stumphouse Park, and indulging in snacks, lemonade from Jase’s Lemonade Stand, and s’mores around the campfire.
During this special weekend, it was heartwarming to see families bonding over shared activities and creating lasting memories in the serene surroundings. From the peaceful afternoon yoga sessions with Mimi’s Yoga Kids to the laughter-filled evenings around the campfire, every moment was a testament to the power of time off in nature to strengthen our relationships.


Spending time in nature has numerous benefits, especially for children. It encourages creativity, reduces stress, and fosters a sense of wonder and curiosity. As these families explored the trails and participated in activities, we witnessed children discovering the joy of the outdoors, building resilience, and developing a deeper appreciation for the natural world. These experiences are invaluable, laying the foundation for a lifelong love of nature and the outdoors.


We are so glad these families could carve out the time to escape and reconnect. In our fast-paced, technology-driven world, it’s essential to take a step back and enjoy the simple pleasures of nature. By offering these opportunities, we hope to inspire more families to prioritize quality time together and embrace the beauty of the great outdoors. Thank you to everyone who joined us for this unforgettable weekend at Getaway Lake Hartwell.
