Brainerd, MN - Camp Vanasek - Whipple Lake

June 20-22, 2011

General Information:

Kid's Camp 2011 - 9:42 pm, Two minutes of camp!

As you stroll down the avenue of pines you find the rustic cabins on the lake. The sun is escaping. Loons are beginning there night games. Wet gis hang on the clothes lines like little goblins in the night. Muffled voices proclaim each fortress as you past. "When do we have to stand guard, the girls said they're going to prank us." "They say that every year, don't worry about it"

"The last training was tough, I could hardly hold on to the rope swing after all those push-ups" you hear from a window. "Hey I smell popcorn, are they starting the movie?" "I'm headed for the fire, I like the old camp stories" "Who's going to guard the cabin?" "Forget it, the big guys are still playing cards." "Hey, what's that noise?" I'll get the flashlight. "What is it?" It's a bear! Really! No rookie it's just one of the kids. Ha Ha! "Hey you wanna trade some licorice for some malted milk balls?" "OK" The squeaky door opens slowly. "Let's go"..."Hey wait up! I will see you at the campfire, Hey! Do you have the flashlight?" "I thought you had it!" "Who is that coming down the trail?" "Quick back to the cabin!" "What time is it?" 9:44 pm
