Family Ceramics – Family Traditions | An Ocean Lakes Memory

Our activities are more than recreational… They are bonding moments, laughs shared with the people you love, memories in the making… They are family traditions. Many of our guests return year after year to create wonderful family memories that will last a lifetime. 

The Tranchida family is one of those families.

Meet Alyssa | Alyssa is from Sterling Heights, MI and has been vacationing at Ocean Lakes for 20 years! This week, she is describing her favorite Ocean Lakes memory. 

More Than Just An Activity | Follow along as Alyssa shares her favorite memory of Ocean Lakes:

My Nana and Grandpa purchased their place at Ocean Lakes in 1994 and they visited every year.

My favorite memory from Ocean Lakes was doing Family Ceramics with my Nana every year. We have been going to the ceramics activity in the Recreation Center every year for the past 16 years. 

My Nana loved spending time with her grandkids at Family Ceramics. She always helped us pick out which ceramic to paint, and she helped us out when we had difficult items to paint. My Nana even had her own ceramics business back home in Michigan, so she was the ultimate pro! 

After my Nana passed away in 2018, the grandkids continue to carry on the tradition of visiting Ocean Lakes and attending Family Ceramics. I loved going to Ocean Lakes with my Nana and I miss her more and more every year.
