Christmas Time at Camp Newaygo!

Christmas at Camp Newaygo is in full swing! We had several volunteers out at Camp this morning, climbing ladders, hanging ornaments, and singing along to carols as we got Lang Lodge ready for our winter events. Trust me though, these decorations are better seen in person - so come check out our Winter Events seen here: http://www.campnewaygo.org/LinkClick.aspx?fileticket=lk6uCKk2gn0%3d&tabid=37

Here's Jane admiring our NEW tree!!!

Here's a view of Foster Park with a little more Christmas Spirit!

Lake Pickerel is still Ice Free!!! ...For now....

Who wouldn't want to curl up next to this fireplace?

Need a location for the perfect Christmas event? Well, you've found it. Hope to see you sometime this December!

HAPPY TURKEY DAY!

It's Thanksgiving! Time to watch football, eat lots of good food, and relax.

And then go shopping ridiculously early the next morning.

Camp Newaygo wishes everyone a fun and safe Thanskgiving and Black Friday. Remember that Saturday is Small Business Saturday - and what better way to support your local community than by signing up for one of Camp Newaygo's Christmas events?


Check out the cool things happening in December on our website - there's so much cool stuff happening here! I love it.




The last of the leaves are sticking stubbornly to the trees, and I'm actually getting excited for some snow! Jalisa's first snowman is right around the corner!

The Barn is Finished!

It's the moment you've all been waiting for:

THE BARN IS DONE!

Behold it's majesty. What will this beautiful barn be used for? Why, Camp Craft of course? Remember all those trips you used to pack for in the depths of the lodge? Well, you can now pack for those in the barn. Our future tripping director is going to love this barn. Gone are the days of duct tape on trees and tents left out in the rain to dry out. 

Now, I know you're thinking: "But what about the goats?!?! Where are Bucky and Lacy???" Well, they are happy as clams. If clams were goats. 

Here's Lacy admiring her new barn view:

Some of the returning summer staff for 2012 have already toured our new building. We even skyped our staff from London, France, and Connecticut to show off our new digs. 

There's also a new retention wall by the tennis courts. There'a always something happening at Camp Newaygo! 

So, what do you think of the barn? And what's the wildest overnight trip you've been on at Camp Newaygo???
