Another Session Update...

The weather is fine, and the wind is blowing. Yet another perfect day on the shores of Cass Lake. Over the last few days we couldn't have asked for better camp weather. The sailors were happy with their breeze, the canoeists were delighted with a few waves to negotiate, and the swimmers were glad of a slightly warmer Buck Lake.

The last few days have seen the departure of several trips to destinations throughout the North Woods - just this morning we waved off Olson Cabin who were heading to the Crow Wing River, and Eagle's Nest - destination Canada and the Quetico.

With all these trips heading out, camp is much smaller (but not necessarily quieter), though a smaller camp is an opportunity not to be missed. A bright, warm Super Sunday was the perfect excuse for the whole camp to relocate to Cedar Island for the afternoon, spending several hours swimming on the sandbar and exploring the dropoff.

Today there is a new challenge ahead. The boys will be competing in Camp Chippewa's own version of the 'Amazing Race', and I am sure there will be some intense competition to be the first team to solve the puzzles and unlock the prize.

That's the news for now.
