I usually go somewhere with my son on weekend days, but today I just felt like staying home and chilling out. Googled "Camp Miniwanca" and I think your flickr site was on the first page of hits. I got a scholarship to attend the NLC there in 1981 and liked it so much I returned the following summer to work all summer long in the kitchen, as well as finish up the NLC. (That was the year it changed from needing three "summers" to two in order to "graduate". Believe it has changed to just one time in attendance now?) It was hard to leave my friends the summer between HS graduation and going off to college... but it was probably my favorite summer of my life! At that time, the staff (mostly college kids and a few high school kids) had one of the two closest buildings to Lake Michigan as its dorm. I think that is it in one of your photos. Anyway, I walked on that beach many a morning and evening, ran it a few times, too. Played tennis at the courts just about every day. Got the best tan of my life. Made a really good friend on the summer staff who I might have exchanged a couple letters with and now can't even think of his last name, LOL. Sorry for rambling on, but I am glad I found a way back from your flickr page to a place where I could thank you for the great pics! I may look into sending my son there for the kids camp someday. I know he'd love it there. Hi, this isn’t related to your latest post, but I just wanted to tell you someone really appreciates your photos of Camp Miniwanca!

A few of us met with them to check out what it was they were hoping to do and then enlisted the help of other area letterboxers to help out with various areas and activities. It is really cool to have some letterboxes in the museum, even if it is only for a few months.

I think it is really cool that they are doing this. I was just telling someone at my work about your letterboxing..she hadn't ever heard of it. I'll have to tell her about this too. awesome carving!
