March 2020 is proving to be a strange month with the COVID-19 outbreak, but we are staying strong and hoping for a great summer in the great outdoors. Check in with the camp staff with any concerns, learn about our new exciting program of Ukele Building and Lessons from our Alumnus Mike Lemma coming this summer, and hear about the great time we had at the ACA Tri-State Camp Conference.
Our Februray 2020 Newsletter is a space this month to write about some new or expanded programs that we are really excited about for this upcoming summer. We are expanding our hiking/canoeing/backpacking trips to be longer and more intense.

We are also in the beginning stages of setting up a 75th Anniversary Reunion at the end of our summer session this year.

I actually started as the ropes course and trips director, and then when the director left after my first summer, a friend and I took over as co-directors. The CEO/founder of...

This was over a decade before current camp owner Michael Humes took over Camp Regis Applejack from his parents and the founders of the kid’s summer camp, Earl and Pauline Humes. Check out the brochure.
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...
