Camp is bringing back the wooden canoe fleet from years past.  Fritz Orr, our paddling director, is working at refurbishing a total of five of the antique boats.  He is seen here putting a fourth coat of the original paint color on one of the Old Towns.  All the boats arrived at camp with a storied history including one bought out of a country garage for $25, with two paddles.

Since Windswept cabin was built in 1959 it has faced away from the lake with a small landing for the entrance.  Danny Stewart has been making updates to the bathrooms, making new shelving, and other updates to the cabin.   The biggest difference will be the new entrance that faces the lake.  Windswept campers will now have a porch with a view!

New front of Windswept (porch will be added soon)
