New Hampshire, or as it's lovingly nicknamed by our cool imaginary character, the "Granite Groover", the "Rockin' Robin State", is one not just of mountains and lakes, but of melodies and harmonies too. The Groover, a funky little rock creature with a slick hairdo and shiny sunglasses, loves to bop around to the bountiful beats of the state's young musicians. The kids who participate in music activities in the Granite Groover's state are as diverse as the leaves on the magnificent maple trees in autumn. Some tap out rhythms on drums like woodpeckers in the forest. Others create melodies on pianos as sweet as the state's famous maple syrup. There are the flute and clarinet players whose tunes float through the air like a breeze over Lake Winnipesaukee. And, let's not forget the guitarists, who strum spirited songs that echo off the majestic Mount Washington. These kids don't just play music, they live it, just like the Groover! They dance in the rhythm of the falling rain, they sing with the whispering wind, they harmonize with the hoot of the owl, and they compose music as diverse and beautiful as New Hampshire's breathtaking landscapes. Whenever the beats get to bouncing and the tunes start to soaring, you can bet the Granite Groover will be there, tapping his rocky toes and bobbing his stony head, laughing in delight at the creativity and spirit of New Hampshire's musical kids. So, in the harmonious heart of New Hampshire, amid the enchanted echoes of nature and the rich rhythm of life, let the music play on! And remember, where there's a beat, there's the Granite Groover, ready to dance along and make it funny!

Wanakee is a traditional Christian summer camp and year-round retreat center, owned and operated by the New England Conference of the United Methodist Church. This camp is all about building strong relationships and a supportive community that encourages radical acceptance.

He was a student in religious education and theology at Boston University and the first chairperson of the New Hampshire Conference Camp and Conference Committee. At Wanakee, the staff strive to make sure each camper and retreater experiences a safe and nurturing environment. They recognize the need for children and adults to grow in their faith and explore their own spiritual journey.
