Our children were so blessed to have attended Miss Nancy's Summer House Party. Miss Nancy is in her mid-70s, and she and her husband, Mr. Peter, run a fantastic Manners Camp at their home in NC each summer. There are about 5 different weeks of camp that are just 4 nights each. Our triplets LOVED it and our son asked to go back again last summer! He would go again if I would let him. He loves it.

Martha Daniel and Caroline Paxton are creating a documentary on Miss Nancy and the dying art of etiquette. You will just love this documentary!! You can support it by donating to the Southern Documentary Fund at Duke University. They hope to complete the film by Fall of 2009. Enjoy this trailer... our triplets are in it!:)

Oh that is so wonderful! How special... I had my oldest signed up for "manners classes" through a company called The Barclay School... white gloves a must! I loved it -- they learned everything... not sure they will retain it all ;)

I want to be in the south... I think I am a displaced southerner!

Oh, AH thanks so much for sharing this! That Miss Nancy is a national treasure!!! I would die for my girls to experience something like this! Does she still accept campers every summer? I would fly to NC to take Pinkie!!!

P.S. My mom said to tell you thank you also for posting this--she fell in love with Miss Nancy, her husband and her friend!

Yes! She still accepts campers every summer. I will call her & find out if she has any room left this summer!

I am with Entertaining Mom on this one! I was just telling a friend I am a displaced southerner!! I wish there was a camp like this closer to home (but then it just wouldn't be the same would it??) :) Thank you for sharing this!
