Towering Pines Blog

I think it is safe to say that by now everyone is “back to school”!  As much as we would like to stretch out summer as much as possible, somehow those lazy days quickly turn to carpools, backpacks, homework, extracurricular activities, and counting the days until camp begins once again!

Throughout the upcoming year, each month will have a blog that is “sponsored” by a different Towering Pines cabin from the Summer of 2016.  Each camper wrote his “best moments at camp”…here is a little more about Cabin 4 (Huron)!

What is one moment at camp you will never forget?:

Luke: Horse Show and Co-Ed Show

Paul: 4th of July fireworks – they were AMAZING!

Chris: tie-dye

Craig: meeting all of my new friends at camp

Isaac: the 4th week campfire, TP Fair, and catches of the day

Manuel: TP and Woodland Fairs because you can splash other people

Mitchell (CIT): I won’t forget any moment at camp this year – I never do!

Alvaro (CIT): doing activities with my friends and practicing for Co-Ed Show

Something adventurous you did this summer:

Luke: I found a class B deer bone

Paul: I cantered on a horse even though I was not so great at it

Chris: I went to Bond Falls – it was AMAZING!
