A little more about Grayson!
I love playing QB for my flag football team. I play right wing in soccer. This coming summer, I hope to go to my first sleep away camp at camp Ojibwa. I went this past summer for a father/son trip with friends from my school and had the best time! I love to go up to my family’s cottage in Delavan, Wisconsin and go on the boat during the summers. I love going on vacations to Captiva Island with my family and driving a golf cart all around the island.
