We have had an amazing week at camp. It’s been action packed, so here goes nothing: Green-White Egg Marathon On Sunday we had our annual Green-White Egg Marathon, which is our biggest Green-White event of second session. To sum it up, it is a giant relay race around camp that […]

As we announced the cabin assignments around the flagpole our counseling teams were having dance parties, building human periods, and having mock tea parties. Anything can turn […]
There was Magic in the Northwoods tonight. Where else can you find 15 years old playing soccer, football, tennis and softball at the same time… with 9 years olds who were also playing all 4 sports at the same time… on the same field? I venture to say that this […]
