We have a new bus!

About a month ago we purchased a new bus for camp. It seats a max of 72 people and, with our other bus, we should be able to transport almost all of the larger camps without needing to use the vans. By the time you see the bus it may have a new paint job, but until then here is in all its yellow/orange glory!

Now off to the pool!

Homeschool Family Camp 2009

Home School Family Camp was a blast. One dad said, "It was a privilege to be a part of this week." Another seven-year-old camper said it was "the best week of her life."
Many of the families enjoyed sleeping in the covered wagons, going to sleep looking at the stars and waking to the geese flying over low. Several shared that they enjoyed the new format and flexibility of staying at camp for either 2, 3, 4, or all 5 days.

Want to know who is attending your camp this summer?

If you haven't already noticed, we recently created a new LWBC profile page on Facebook. Yes, it is true that there are already two Facebook groups for fans of LWBC, but we decided to make a new profile page because it allows us more options to connect with those of you who are on there, and it will hopefully be a bit more interactive. So be sure to become a fan!

As part of that new profile page we added each camp this summer as an "event". All you have to do is click on the link to the camp/event you are attending and it should show you some of the other people on Facebook who are going to your camp. Exciting, isn't it? When you are there make sure to add yourself as someone who is "attending" your camp/event, and be sure to tell your friends to add themselves to the event as well. The more people who participate, the more accurate and useful of a tool it will become!

Busy Spring at LWBC

It has been a busy spring at LWBC and a lot has been going on! We're sorry we have been slow in updating the blog. Well, we've been busy building a few things at camp for this summer...

In conjunction with our summer theme "Firmly Planted" we built a little "Sugar Shack" where we will show you how maple syrup is made from some of our trees at the camp. Below is a picture from the outside, and you will just have to wait until you come to camp in order to find out the mysteries of what goes on inside... =)
We have also been working on some of our trails, in preparation for the summer. The "Adventure Trail" was pretty steep at one part, so Tim and Joy built a nice little stairway.

Pretty good-looking, isn't it?
