As I type, your sons are working on a giant scavenger hunt. It’s really an opportunity to pick up the 300 errant tennis balls and stray equipment that’s made it’s way around camp, but the boys take the challenge seriously since it is an Army/Navy challenge and there is….soda at stake!

Tonight is the Kerchief ceremony, a time when your son’s achievements will be recognized in front of the rest of the Highlands men. It’s a serious ceremony, a time for reflection on the summer, and your son’s place among 107 years of Highlands men.

You’re a Good Man Charlie Brown
Last night’s production was great! The actors did a great job, directed by RJ Bruce. Andy Bachmann recorded the whole show, and the actors all have a copy of it to take home. Several guys even got dressed up for the night of theater. Sharon Bachmann treated everyone with Dreamcicles at intermission. It was a great night! Take a look….

A note on Bunk Notes
Friday will be the last day we distribute Bunk Notes. If there is something important you need to tell your son, please contact us in the office. There is a lag time with the Bunk Notes, and especially if you have changes to travel we need to know that. Thanks for keeping us in the loop!

End of Camp
Remember, the final festivities are on Friday the 6th, starting with the Water Carnival at 3 pm, followed by a picnic supper at 6 pm and finally the banquet which wraps up between 8:30 and 9. It’s a great way to get a taste of what your son has seen and done for the last four weeks.

The busses home leave Camp at 9 am on Saturday the 7th. Please contact us with any questions.

We are deviating from our normal Stunt night tonight to bring the North Woods an abbreviated version of “You’re a Good Man Charlie Brown.” Several kids have been working with RJ Bruce over the last few weeks on the production. Should be good!

Skies at Highlands
As many of you know, we were lucky to see the Northern Lights here at Camp last night. The northeastern sky was filled with a blue glow. Pretty cool stuff! Check out this incredible sunset from last night as well…

Today the guys are all out at assigned activities, but this afternoon, activities are open so that the boys can work on their last ACs (achievement credits). Tomorrow is the last day for them to work on these in order to be recognized for them in Kerchiefs.

It’s a nice day. Very warm, but with some expected showers later this afternoon. But take a look at a picture from the porch this morning…
