Week 1, 2007

Welcome to 2007 at Nicolet!

Nicolet staff and early camper arrivals anxiously awaited the arrival of the camp buses on June 23rd.

Cabin signs welcome campers to their summer home.

Little Fawnites smile big after meeting their counselors.

All-camp introductions took place on Sunday evening.

Little Fawn campers and staff perform their original introduction skit for the rest of camp.

Camp songs and funny skits entertained campers and staff as we met everyone that will be a part of our Nicolet family for the summer of 2007.

 

Hugs and excitement all around!

Spruce campers get ready to head to their cabin.

The staff introduced music and dance eras for the 2007 campfire theme on Saturday evenings.

Campers Enjoy Sunshine and Super Activities

Warmer than usual June temperatures make waterfront activities super popular!

Swimming classes are fun!

Warm windy days make skiing a challenge, but tubing behind the new Nautique and the Tahiti is a blast!

Canteen time is a very popular activity!

Mealtimes at Table 8 are also entertaining!

Riding Instructor, Abby, does a helmet check.

Tennis anyone?

Kayaking is fun for all ages.

 

Lifeguards and swim instructors in red oversee afternoon swimming activities in Franklin Lake.

Dryland practice on the pully before testing the water.

Head Counselor, Kelly Ed, has the taco lovin' table!

Meeting all the horses on the first day of riding class.

Campers enjoy kayaking on a warm summer afternoon

Double the pleasure!

Jeremy, Allie, Bridger, and Alicia take a break by one of the newly landscaped areas around camp. Nifty!

 

'07 Adventures Begin with Rafting and Super Porkies Trip

Even though the water was low this year, an exciting day in funyaks was enjoyed by Trails End campers.

The all new 4 day adventure challenge backpacking trip to the Porcupine Mountains on Lake Superior is ready to depart in style. Trip Leaders are Jeremy, Alicia, and

Caitie. The "Super Porkies" campers are buff!

 

The Advanced Campers gear up for their Pestigo River whitewater rafting trip accompanied by Dan and Allison.

Outfitted by Kosir Rafting Company, a complete safety lecture and fitting for special lifevests and equipment is a must before the fun paddle begins.
