During my 25th summer working at Camp Chippewa for boys in Minnesota, I led a 160 mile canoe trip in Canada. For 12 days, we canoed up river, down rivers, across huge lakes, portaged and shot rapids. It was a blast.
July: I spent a day at "This is the Place Heritage Park" with my 4th grader learning about native peoples, mountain men and the pioneers. Panning for gold was the favorite activity of the day.
