We have expanded
our program
this coming weekend!
We have added...
Summer Fun Weekend activities!
Aug. 22 - 24, 2008
tell your friends!
Scheduled by popular demand we have expanded our
Tack and Paddle Weekend to include younger kids that
would like to do a bit of everything! You can swim,
kayak, mud hike, make crafts, horse back ride, and
more. You just come and have fun... we plan the
activities, cook the food and even do the dishes!
You can also join in on our "Tack and Paddle
Weekend" which is going on at the same time! The
paddlers will be taking a kayak/canoe trip down a
beautiful section of the Black River that is just 30
minutes away as well as paddling out on Lake Huron!
First timers are welcome! You can even come just
for the day! Call for details! Riders will be
taking a lesson in a ring and visiting a local farm
for a ride in the fields. Kids must be 10 and up to
do river trip and there is a $20 additional fee!
For riders a lesson is $10, and the farm trip is $20
(must be able to control the horse at a trot for the
trip).
WOW!

Great Year for Summer Camp!
It
is time to say
goodbye to all of our
International
Campers and Staff!
As we head into our last week here at camp we are
sad to say goodbye to our summer campers and
counselors! Two of our campers, Vivian who is 10
years old (left center) and Veronica (right center)
who is 8 years old, came all the way from Taiwan to
stay at camp for 5 weeks! They have taught us Tai
words for things here at camp and entertained us
with songs from Taiwan! They are very excited about
coming again next year!
 Two
of our counselors are also from far away! "Kiwi"
(her fun camp name) who is from New Zealand and
"Charlie" from England! We have sure had fun with
them and they tease us about our "accent" and we
tease them about theirs! They love our "ocean" that
is not salty and have had a great experience working
at camp! We will miss them both!

So cute...
New
Baby Bunnies
come out to Meet us!
The story begins when Lisa, who's husband is
"Hawkeye" our adventure program person, and her kids
Alex, Heather, and Nate decided to run a booth to
raise money for camp at the local flea market. Well
it was a slow day but they made enough money to buy
a bunny from another booth! They excitedly asked
Jill if the bunny we had a camp already was a boy or
girl so as not to make any mistake and get one of
each and have things happen!
Well Jill checked it out and told them it was a boy
so they made sure they got another boy! Well low
and behold we had a baby bunny appear! Next time
they are not relying on Jill to check out if we have
boy bunnies or girl bunnies!

Volunteers take Beach Plant
Inventory as Beach Rebuilds!
Learn more about
the fragile beach environment!
B.J. Morrison and her granddaughter Cassidy are long
time volunteers at camp. They have taken on the
task of inventorying the flowers and fauna on the
beach! In 1989 and again in the late 1990's the
water levels of the great lakes rose and destroyed
all the beach plants. Before the high water there
was actually a nice woods on our beach and lots of
flowers. They were all taken away by the waves when
the water was high enough to reach the cliff!
B.J. and Cassidy are now watching and recording the
"rebirth" of the beach environment! We will be
posting more information on the Internet as they get
further along with their project!
