Annual Franklin Lake Ice Off
Contest!
It's
officially springtime in the great Northwoods and time once
again for all campers and staff to enter the annual Franklin
Lake Ice Off Contest. The closest guess to the exact time
and date when the ice completely melts off of the lake wins
a new Nicolet
T-shirt
of her choice from the camp store. Hint: we've had temperatures
in the 70s both in April and May, and we've also had snow
(on May 11th!). Our eagles are back in their nests high above
Nicolet Village and swans, geese, and ducks have returned
to the lake as well. The beavers have been very busy in the
Nicolet Outpost cutting and dragging small trees to their
huge house in the reeds. Lots of natural activity in preparation
for the big activities that will begin at camp in June!
To
enter the Ice Off Contest, just e-mail your name and the date
and exact time you think the ice melted to: iceoff@campnicolet.com.
Good luck!

Camp Sisters 2006
Many
of you have been anxiously asking when you will receive
your Camp Sister assignments for this summer.
Check
your mailboxes soon and remember to get in touch with
your Camp Sister as soon as possible so you can get
to know each other before you arrive at Nicolet. You
can e-mail, call each other, and maybe even get together
if you live near one another. Camp Sisters are fun and
a great way to feel welcome, or make a new camper feel
at home when she gets to camp.
Boat
rides around Franklin Lake are a blast at the big
Camp
Sister party the 2nd evening of each session. |

A
Tribute to Christopher
by
Tara Senter - 13 years old
|
|
|
| |
His
name was Christopher Extreme Sports Magee,
Hero
to so many, Superstar to me.
A
person you could look up to and want to be,
My
hero, my cuz, my Superstar.
He
was a friend to all and loved everyone around him.
Never
was mean, always grateful.
Taught
so many what he loved and never said a word.
Christopher
was more than a man,
He
was a hero and a guardian angel,
But
most of all an awesome cuz.
Christopher
lives on in our hearts and minds.
One
thing is for sure...
Everytime
I look at the lake and see a wave
I'll
remember Christopher Extreme Sports Magee
A
hero to the extreme! |
The
family of Christopher Starz wishes to sincerely thank
all of you who have thought of us in various ways during

Nicolet on June 4th at 3:00 p.m. and anyone wishing
