Around 30 TP staff have arrived safely to County D Road, and now the huge task of getting everybody ready for the 76th summer at Towering Pines begins. It goes without saying that some things just happen almost by themselves – the sun comes out, the sky turns blue and the cabins seem to gleam against the backdrop of pine and hardwood trees – but that’s just a small part of summer.

The gals from Driftwood and the guys from Cabin 11, along with their counselors, spent an hour or so of hanging out in the lodge at Woodland.
