With most of the older boys out on trips, lower camp has been well represented the past couple weeks here at Chippewa. Thanks in part to the fact that most of our two weekers stayed on for four weeks, we have had just the right number of boys to have some really exciting special activities this session.
The boys in Badger and Bunkhouse have all been out to the improperly named Little Bass Lake and the fishing has been nothing short of amazing. Augie A. landed an elusive walleye in the last minutes of daylight in the same spot where Joe H.W. had caught an enormous 4lb largemouth just a day earlier. The fishing has never been better.
Between overnight trips to Star and roasting hot dogs over the fire, the boys managed to fit in a truly spectacular 4th of July celebration. A dramatic reenactment of the events surrounding our country's founding, complete with musket fire in the distance, set the stage for an exciting day of trying to free Thomas Jefferson from captivity. I wouldn't suspect their knowledge of the actual happenings of 1776 was reinforced, but certainly the Chippewa version is fresh in their minds.
Well, the adventure continues and if I find myself with some time away from the fishing I will be sure to post some more about what is happening around here.
