Why I love S.N.C
By: Caroline Lichtenberger

To me, camp is another home with another family. But camp isn't just any family or home, camp is a special home.

This special home is filled with acceptance, love, encouragement, and true, down to earth friends who you will end up calling your camp family. Your counselors act as parents, older siblings, etc. They are great people to look up to. The campers are great friends for life. You may even end up looking at them as siblings. No one kicks you out of the cabin because of who you are. Your uniqueness is accepted. This is the main reason for why I love camp. Camp isn't only that; camp is also a place to learn and have fun.

When I think of camp, I think of trips. I'll never forget the Namekagon River. What an adventure! I loved the rapids, nature, and sights of the forest. It was fun getting to know the other person in the canoe with you. The wildlife you see is extremely cool. We saw hawks, bald eagles, deer, ospreys, trout, and carp. Sometimes we all had our fights or minor issues, but usually they were resolved. When you're not on trips and just at camp, there is more to do than ever.

I always loved the nature center. The nature center is a great place to learn about nature and the environment. The nature center director is always fun and teaches well. There are all sorts of animals that are fun to observe and hold. Other fun activities to do at camp are archery, swimming, fishing, boating, tubing, and riflery. I loved being active all day.

I'm returning to camp for all these reasons. I love camp and hope to be a CIT when I'm sixteen and then a counselor when I'm eighteen. So, I'll see ya'll in Minong this year! Check out Teen Summer Camp
