Happy Fourth of July!!!

The Redcoats chased after Paul Revere and shouted a mighty 4th of July wake-up call to all the campers.

"The British are coming!"

The 2007 Advanced Campers had the traditional honor of noisily waking up the entire camp with pots and pans

"Happy Fourth of July!"

High five on the 4th!

Cabins performed skits base upon themes drawn from a hat such as...

How would you celebrate the 4th at a boys' camp?

Dizzy bat is always the favorite funny relay.

The sack race keeps everyone jumping - go blue!

The Red Team tries to conquer the trolley race.

 

The traditional Independence Day flag raising.

The Nicolet choir opens the bell ringing ceremony.

Bell ringers were chosen to represent each cabin.

How would you celebrate the 4th in the jungle?

How would you celebrate the 4th in a musical?

It's the Red Team ready to win it all.

But the White Team is ready as well.

Off the ground and in the air - come on white!

"Left, right, left right" chants the White Team as they

make their way to the finish line.

Happy Birthday USA!

Kyra celebrated her birthday with a yummy cake.

Brats and hotdogs are the best! The ACs store up energy for all the dancing and fireworks at RAC. A fun time was had by all!

Isle Royale Honors Backpacking Trip Departs

Led by Isle trip veterans Jeremy, Allison, and Jodi, seven senior campers set out for their big adventure on Isle Royale. After an evening of camping in Houghton, MI, the group boards a boat for a six hour ride to the wilderness island in Lake Superior. The next issue of News from Franklin Lake will feature photos and reports from the trip.

Wednesday Cookouts a Big Hit!

Advanced Campers enjoy a Wednesday evening cabin cookout at the Back O' the Hill campsite with its' new shelter and picnic table. Every week campers experience an outing with their cabin to a site in the Nicolet Outpost or off camp grounds to sharpen their outdoor living skills and prepare for greater and more challenging trips. The following pics show the various cabins enjoying their shish-kabobs and brown bears - also learning to cook outdoors and sleep out overnight in tents.
