I wish those paddle boats were at camp when I was there in 1970. This is a new docking area since I was there. I could evasion having relay races using those paddle boats for races around League Lake. And, since I used to take my guys around the lake on a hike each day before breakfast, the same leg action could have been accomplished with a paddle boat excursion around the shore each day.

I’ll bet those paddle boats are in high demand at camp even over kayaks and canoes. When I was there rowboats were my vehicle of choice. But I could just see me taking one of those paddle boats into the lagoon. It makes me wonder what other new things are up at camp? I know they have a tennis/basketball court there now and a new staff cottage.

I hope Tent City gets a make-over as well and is available for kids again on a rotating basis. What was taught out there by me and two other counselors were real camping skills. Still an occasional visit to the paddle boat area sure would have been in order for me as well!
