Summer '18 in Review: A Canoe-nity Harvest


A peak highlight...

From Summer 2018...

Was surely...




Our brand-new...

Canoe-nity Garden!


Yes, this great new feature of Camp...


(Added this past off-season with a TON of help from the greater Camp community...)



Played a variety of roles this summer season. 



It was the scene in which many campers...

Jump-started each day...

With our "Groundhog Gardening" Early-Morning Activity. 

It was...

Of course...

A great scenic addition...


To help...


Beautify...


The entrance...

And exit of Camp...


As well as...


A great sight to see...

On our daily stroll...
To and from...


Vespers Island. 





It was our laboratory...


In which our campers...

Were able to learn...

Hands-on...




About seeds...


Soil...




Sunshine...


Water...

And how these elements...

Combined with some...





Time...





Care...

And attention...
Can make some...
Pretty amazing things...
Grow.
(And we're talking...

REALLY hands-on.

Like really,



Really,


REALLY...


Hands-on.)


So hands-on...


That our Canoe-nity Garden...







Was not...

Just a laboratory...


But a source of food...



To bring a variety of... 
Fresh...


(Just about as fresh as you can get...)


Vegetables...

Herbs...


And more...


For our kitchen...

For our...

Salad bar...

And for our...

General snacking enjoyment. 


And the BEST thing...

Our Canoe-nity Garden was...


Was just the beginning!


Because we look forward in future seasons to adding...

Even more plants,




Even more classes, 


(Even more boats!)

And even more ways for our Canoe-nity Garden...
To bring our campers...

Just a little bit closer to nature.


(An in fact, we're not even just waiting for future seasons to add to our garden:) 


Our dear friend Lakeside Louie has been working on some finishing fence touches...

And just yesterday put on our new gates!


Stay tuned for what else will be added and new for our Canoe-nity Garden for Summer '19!
