RETURN TO BAY CLIFF
by Bruce & Dianne Sachs

For the last 80 years Bay Cliff has been a Summer haven for children with physical needs. Bay Cliff Health Camp, founded in 1934, is a non-profit organization, located on 170 acres of land overlooking Lake Superior, near Big Bay in Marquette County. Presently there are over 30 programs organized to meet the needs of handicapped children and adults. 


September 9, 2013 again found Dianne and I at the “magical place” on the shore of Lake Superior ready to breath in the pure air, renew friendships with former campers, meet the new campers, and fill our heads with more post-polio information. The week long program, directed by Christy Osborn, consisted of sessions by Dr. Fred Maynard, Dr. Bill Waring, Dr. Marny K. Eulberg, Mary Waring, Sunny Roller and Sandy Loyer and numerous small group sessions dealing with health and wellness. We also had crafts, jam making, soap making, ceramics, yoga, exercise, swim & sauna, silk scarf dyeing, fishing, archery, nature walk and roll, lighthouse tour, and a trip to Thomas Rock [the highest point in the area] We enjoyed a bonfire, ice cream social, movie night, and socializing. We brought books, Michigan Polio Network materials, and Perspectives to share.


Bay Cliff invited new campers from Oklahoma, Pennsylvania, California, and Dr. Marny K. Eulberg, from Colorado to join us in a week of education and fellowship. After the Friday evening’s closing program many of the campers headed for their homes. The rest of us enjoyed a Saturday going away breakfast and after many good bye hugs, we returned to the outside world of newspapers, radio and television, and cell phones. We reflected on the week spent on Body, Mind and Spirit and look forward to next year.
