Gearing Up

Hello All!

Last week was full of adventure at Camp Newaygo:  Andrea returned to Camp and is getting ready to start work on our Wetland Trail and we are so happy to have her back.  Caitlin got a new puppy on Mother's Day - a fluffy little cockapoo named Lou that is absolutely adorable.  We hosted a wonderful group from Grand Rapids that packed their 24 hour stay full of fishing, archery, rock climbing, fire building, drumming, cooking, the high ropes course, and more!

Julia is in Chicago this week for lifeguard instructor training while we are making plans for the zip line being installed at the end of the month.  And then our season really kicks off with Mom and Me Camps, lifeguard and staff training, and then summer camp!

Say hello, Lou!

Happy Camping!

Mother's Day Well Wishes

Hello All!

What a wonderful and busy weekend here at Camp Newaygo!

We had a beautiful wedding here on Saturday, with a creative theme - old Hollywood!  The bride's dress had a million buttons down the back and the bridesmaids' hairstyles made them look like classic starlets.  They even had an 11-piece jazz band!  It was absolutely lovely.

 A beautiful day for a wedding

On Sunday we transformed the lodge from wedding reception to Mother's Day buffet.  It took some work, but it turned out great.  The food was delicious and the weather even cooperated for us so that guests could check out the Wetland Trail.  We were so happy with the turnout for the event, and we might even expand it next year.  We hope everyone had a nice Mother's Day!

Happy Camping!
