“We treasure this time together – to laugh and play, eat and sleep comfortably without the stress of daily life. We are leaving refreshed, renewed, and looking forward to nest year!”
Memorial Day Work Weekend
Our Memorial Day Work Weekend has become the traditional kick-off to our summer season. Each year 100-200 cherished volunteers share their time, talents, and labor to help open Camp for summer sessions. Many volunteer hands make for light work – which means when the work is done there is more time for canoeing, kayaking, sailing, tennis, hiking, or just relaxing.
