Leadership Training Under Way

We are officially into our second week of Leader's Training and we are off to a great start. We have a great crew here. These weeks have been full! The leaders are out now on a 3 day canoe trip on the mighty Flambeau River. Staff Orientation was a blast. We were so blessed by what the Lord had to say through Sean.

Many weeks are filling up for volunteers. I am no longer accepting applications unless you are a lifeguard, wrangler or cook.

Please be in prayer for the leaders that are here, in their preparation to serve this summer.

I look forward to seeing you guys up here this summer.

Last Minute details

Hey Staff! Spring and almost summer is in the air. The lakes have thawed, the sun is shining, the trees are blooming, all that's missing is......you! We are so excited for you guys to arrive! This means the beginning of summer for us.

Some great news! We have hired a 4th Residant Assistant, Kyle Broddrick! We also have a new member to the team, Tony Basso as dish crew head. The Lord answers prayer.
