The weekend was structured just like a regular camp day i.e. wakeup call, breakfast, water activity time, archery time, lunch, group games, dinner, clean up, campfire singsongs, dance in the rec hall etc... Enjoying stories after dinner in the mess hall
It was fun!! There was a collective of counsellors representing various camp eras. Andrew had arranged to have 6 campmates from his era attend. Photos were viewed, memories discussed and the wall plaques with all their names and accomplishments were admired.

I spent the first night in the "boys" cabin bunking with Andrew and six of his buddies (and one chihauha dog). However, after enduring a night of cacaphonic snoring, flatulence and belching I quickly moved to another empty cabin.
Checking out my bunkmates
Andrew jumped into waterskiing the moment we arrived. It was like riding a bicycle for him---it all came back instantly. He got up on two skiis and immediately dropped a ski to continue his ride on one waterski (without ever falling). The next day we went sailing. I travelled in a sailboat with three of the boys and Andrew took out a laser. Poor us....we had a destination in mind which should have taken 20 minutes. However, after 1.5 hours of no wind we finally reached the cottage we wanted to visit. On the way home, Andrew turtled his laser trying to reach his hat which had fallen off! Andrew manning the boat
At night we had a live band play in the rec hall and we danced until curfew.

On the last night several mischievious boys woke up at 0530h to pull a prank. They carried the canoes and kayaks from the lake and artistically arranged them in the dining hall...
....around the flagpole (with the life jackets displayed to spell THANKS!)...
....and propped them up in the muskoka chairs. NAUGHTY CAMPERS!!
