At the age of 78, I begin to review my life and some of the highlights certainly was Camp MacLean in Wisconsin. My mom insisted on my enrolling in swimming class at the Lakeview Y since up to that point I merely splashed about being somewhat frightened of Lake Michigan water. This experience at the YMCA led to a summer job as counselor in training by the time I was a sophomore at Lane Tech in the summer of 1963-64. I ended up learning and then teaching archery, canoeing and sailing while a counselor in training " CIT". To this day I remember fondly Rusty and Frank, tall, strong and a great role model for a bunch of Chicago boys. They opened my boyhood eyes of outdoor adventures to seek and explore. And while I didn't learn to SCUBA dive at the Y, my comfort in water led me to depths not imagined as a kid at Lane Tech.

Went during winter with my school, it was just a bunch of adults trying to wave liability wasn't fun.

Good traditional camp experience that I reminisce growing up with. I have been sending my girls from AZ to attend each year and both consistently return with endless stories, new found confidence and many new friends whom they continue to communicate with. With one daughter having a food allergy the staff goes beyond my expectations to accommodate her needs. My wife and I have been thoroughly pleased with the camp and plan to continue to utilize the services they provide.
