Three Brand New
Structures Donated!
Thanks to a
Wonderful Friend of Camp
Cavell we have...
Three New Structures to
Celebrate!
They include
this beautiful picnic
shelter, a great new
maintenance building, and a
shelter for our barbecue.
These three structures were
donated by a long time
friend of Camp Cavell who
believes deeply in what camp
can do for everyone it
touches. An incredibly kind
heart and a "get it done"
attitude are the combination
that did get this job done!

Getaways help Reduce
Women's Stress!
 Short
getaways can help with
stress! Studies show
that women who take even
short vacations have more
energy and less stress then
other women.
Psychiatrist David Spiegle
of Standford University
recommends that a weekend
vacation can have the same
stress-busting effects as a
much longer one. In a
recent Readers Digest
article he recommended not
traveling far, going earlier
in the season before the
crowds do, taking long
walks along the beach,
exploring the area, and
getting spa treatments...

USA Weekend recently
published an article that
sites a study that states
women who take two or more
vacations a year are happier
and have more energy than
those who vacation less.

New "Animal Camp" a Hit!
Here by popular demand is
our new "Animal Camp" a
specialty offered at our
Kid's Summer Camp for the
first time this summer!
Camper's voted the kitten
pen and baby animals as the
best thing about camp so we
are expanding our program!
This year we are
offering special sessions
at our week long summer
camps that will concentrate
on our farm and pet area.
Kids will learn to care for
thier pet, do simple first
aid, and learn the basics of
being a good pet owner.

Wait Until you SEE our
Floors!
Our dining
room and lodge floors are
getting a beautiful new
finish! All of the chairs
and tables have been sanded,
repaired, and are getting
coats of polyurethane
hopefully just in time to
open our doors for the
spring!
Both these buildings were
built back in the 1920's and
have stone fireplaces and
hardwood floors. We have
been told that there are
only a few hardwood floors
this large left in the
state. Two that we know of
are at Mackinac Island and
Greenfield Village.
If you would like to help us
finish the job just let us
know!

Chester the Cat is
King of the Household!
For those of
you who have had the
opportunity to meet Chester
the Cat (who lives with Jill
the Camp Director), you know
he loves attention. Chester
was dropped off in camp in
the winter time and became
sick from the cold. Jill
and Tom rescued him and he
settled right into life in
the cottage. His favorite
trick is walking across the
log beams in the ceiling and
sliding down the walls and
landing on Tom in bed!
Elmer the dog has never
really gotten used to
sharing his house but
Chester puts up with it.
You can pet Chester when you
come by to see the alpacas!

Comcast Films
at Cavell!
Comcast was looking for
adventure and they found it at
Camp Cavell. Last September
they spent 3 days filming one
segment of a 13 part mini-series
to be aired on May 2, 2007.
Check your listings this date
may change! Women Athletes from
across Michigan were challenged
in an ultimate work out by
trainer Omar Akl. From
1993-2000, Akl held three
championship titles for Lebanese
boxing, kickboxing and Muay
Thai. While filming they took
our activities here at camp to
the extreme. Tune in and see
these incredible women.
