CCYC Sets Sail

Not only do the sailors have two new sailboats to be excited about, but 2009 marks the inaugural year for the Camp Chippewa Yacht Club. What's this mean for the sailors? More sail races, more sailing day trips and, of course, a cool new flag and burgee!

If you currently sail with another club in your hometown, we're looking to outfit the sail shanty with sail burgees from other clubs. Let's trade!

The Beavers Big Deal

The ride is over for our beloved Bemidji State Beavers. After shocking the world by reaching the Frozen Four, Bemidji lost a heart-breaker to Miami, Ohio last night.

What does this have to do with camp? For many of us, Bemidji State is our adopted underdog team. Having enjoyed many "Bemidji Days" between sessions and having headed into Bemidji for my days off while I was a counselor, Bemidji holds a special place in my heart. Who doesn't love a Beaver mascot and the statue of Paul and Babe just a half mile from the BSU campus?

It was fun, Beaver fans! Check out these great articles, one in the New York Times and one in the Wall Street Journal, which ranks BSU's ascension to the Frozen Four as one of the greatest sports upsets in all of US sports history.

A Camper's Wintry Visit

Bryer T. has given new meaning to the term "eager beaver" around camp. He arrived camp a solid 3 months early, finding a rather snowy and cold reception.

Actually, Bryer and his dad were in our neck of the woods picking up a fishing boat and stopped by. They found an empty Knutson Hall, a snowy Trip House and CJ tapping maples for syrup. Needless to say, Bryer now knows how to tap a maple tree!
