One of the most exciting things about camp
is Cruiser Day. On one of the best ones, Jim Meyers cabin went
down the Bride River last year. The trip, on inner tubes, took about
21/2 hours altogether. The only problem was that the river was about
150 miles away.
Another group went floating down the Wisconsin River on inner tubes.
This activity is especially exciting because you are on the water
floating very rapidly down it. The Wisconsin River offers the
advantage of being closer to camp (about 20 miles away).
Another group went to Bod Falls and enjoyed looking at it, standing
under it in the spray, and hiking around it.
However, the all-time favorite for the younger boys (according to
Sharon Hiken) is a combination trip to Pecks Wildlife and
Crystal Lake. Pecks biggest attraction lies in the fact that
people, especially young kids, like small young animals.
Another good activity is nature hiking though the beautiful trails of
the Wisconsin Highlands.
Also this year, some new foods have been tried. Sharon Hiken says
that the favorite lunch this year is tacos, which Sharon calls
an experiment...which has been successful and very well
received. Another good idea is touring Von Stehls winery,
which is not very far from here. There, visitors are taken on a tour
by the owners, and they are shown the way wines are made and told the
history of the winery.
