Millhouse Madness Day 5!

Day 4 recap: Order of the Forks wins! If you have not witnessed this tradition, the whole lodge sings this song when it is someone’s birthday at camp to choose the “pokers”. Then, the birthday person dons the iconic “fork hat” and everyone sings Happy Birthday while they are (ever so gently) poked with forks! It’s a great way to honor our camper and staff birthdays!

Up next: We move onto round 2 of Millhouse Madness with two fan favorites. Swimming VS riding the train! Comment your vote below.

We want to extend a huge THANK YOU for some gifts purchased off our Amazon wishlist! Thank you to Patty for four rolling carts that will be used in cabins for campers with medical equipment! Next, thank you to Sharon for another one of the rolling carts, a pool pole, brush head, and pole hanger set. These will be amazing this summer! Finally, thank you to an anonymous donor who sent emergency lanterns and another cart!

We are SO grateful for all the support. We could not do what we do without the generosity of our community. Inspired by the kindness? Check out our wishlist for more items we are in need of around camp.
