A few years ago some of my college buddies and I went on a 4-day overnight canoe trip in the Boundary Waters in northern Minnesota. We flew in from all around the country, met at the family house of one friend, got outfitted and food supplied, and then set out the next day from the town of Ely. I was unofficially appointed the navigator/map-reader, maybe due to the fact that...
I love chopping wood. I had a wood-burning stove installed in my fireplace a few years ago and it is really efficient at heating the house in the winter, but the delightful, cozy, “Hygge” feeling of a wood fire in the winter is only a small part of what I like about chopping wood. The whole process is satisfying across all the senses. As you can see from the pictures...
As a parent, educator and camp leader, one of the topics I find most compelling is the importance of outdoor play to a child’s development and the strong negative impact that smart phones and technology have had in that area.

We take pride in the comprehensiveness of our efforts; at Regis Applejack we...

By Steve Darby Our trip started on Monday, the 8th of August at 10:00 a.m. We had had trouble with Glenn’s Ranchero, but we fixed the tire or should I say the spare and a front tire. Once we just gotten ready to leave everybody realized that Andy Wagner was missing. No big surprise, but what can you expect. We finally got everyone and started. It was sort of weird...
By Katie Weisman Sunday morning meeting is a time once a week for thought and discussion. It is a time for quiet. Its purpose is for the campers and counselors to share their feelings openly without being embarrassed or ashamed. Some of the topics we chose this year were guilt, giving and receiving, goals setting and reaching, and leaving places. I think that out of all these topics, guilt was...
