The sun is shining again today as kids head off into their first activities of this session. It was pancakes for breakfast, turkey burgers for lunch, and we’re having tacos for dinner. Sports and Games is playing World Cup Soccer on the soccer field. After breakfast, kids cleaned up their koogees and then met to […]
A Glorious Beginning
Today was one of those days at camp when you look out at the sparkling lake, the sun shining in the blue sky, and the breeze blowing and you think, “I am so lucky to be here.” We couldn’t have asked for better weather to start C session. When we woke up this morning, it […]
Awesomeness
B Session…filled with so much awesomeness you can hardly stand it. What a great group of kids we were privileged to spend two weeks with. We hope you had as much fun as we did! Many awards were passed out this morning at our awards breakfast. Alex Polovin won the junior tennis tournament and Ben […]
Family
The last day of B session is here. It’s been a busy one, as last days always are. This morning was the last three periods of regular activities, so kids worked hard to get those last stars. Sports & Games had a “grab bag” of activities, where kids could choose what activity they wanted each […]
All Good!

Boys Just Wanna Have Fun
The weather forecast called for storms across the midwest today, but somehow we got lucky and skirted them all day. The sun shone and all activities happened on schedule. Around 5, the rain cut loose and soaked camp, but we’re hoping it will blow over soon. In the meantime, campers had a great day in […]

On it, the Sioux thrived and grew strong and wise for many generations. Then, all of a sudden, they mysteriously and silently vanished. […]

Koogee Life
Kids love living in a koogee. For many campers, it’s their favorite part of camp. That top bunk is a much-coveted position for a lot of younger kids, and for many campers their best part of the day is simply hanging out in their koogee. It’s where many memories are made and friendships formed. […]
