Letters From the Lodge

Dearest Marimeta Families and Friends,
We just completed another fantastic parents visiting weekend! WOW.. The weather held out and everyone really had a great time! We did say goodbye to some very special campers who we all will miss a lot! Yet the bright side is that two buses of gorgeous girls arrived just prior to 4 :00 pm and has already settled into their cabins! [Read more…]

A Fabulous Final Banquet was held tonight in the Marimeta Mess Hall! [Read more…]

Dear Marimeta Families and Friends,
We have had a busy week trying to fit everything in prior to visiting weekend! On Tuesday evening we had the MTV Awards Dinner! Many famous movie and television stars came to dinner. Everyone dressed as someone fun! [Read more…]

Dearest Marimeta Families and Friends,
This season at camp has been like no other! I cannot even believe that visiting weekend is just days away! We have discovered one flaw in me doing letters from the lodge… I often get so busy with camp business, activities and spending quality time with our campers… that it leaves me must moments for doing these letters.

Dear Marimeta Family and Friends,
What an exciting last couple of days we have had here in Marimeta land! We are still lucky enough to have awesome weather! Our Pioneer trips left yesterday- the 13 year olds are in the Wisconsin Dells, our 14 year olds are in Mackinaw Island and the 15 year olds are sailing on Lake Superior! [Read more…]

Happy 4th of July to everyone in the Marimeta family and elsewhere!
We had a great day today! Waking up to a little power outage from STALK THE LANTERN the night before… brought a little drama and some bottled water into camp. However by 9am all was back to normal!  [Read more…]

Dearest Marimeta Families and Friends,
What a beautiful last two days. You couldn’t ask for more perfect Northwoods weather. (Nice and warm during the day so that we can enjoy all the great activities and cool and calm at night so that we may gaze up at the bright night sky.)

Friday began with regular activities but as the sun grew hotter we finished the afternoon with all camp waterfront. The campers had a blast with the new paddle boards, adventuring out into the lake and really working their core. The Summit saw non-stop action as the many campers where climbing and sliding up and down it. The ski boats were buzzing around with tubers, skiers, and wakeboarders -all of them showing off their amazing skills.

After a long day on and in the water we continued with a water theme evening activity, with a Mari-Meta squirt bottle game. With blue and red water flying everywhere the team with the least amount of hits was crowned victorious. The fun was not over yet. The first rattle snake or 2011 took place. With the senior cabin girls leading the entire camp down to the shore of Lake Meta the campers jumped into the sparkling water to cool off before heading to a much needed MTV practice.

Needless to say after evening treats, a good nights sleep was had by all.

Today we woke to more clear, sunny skies. It was the perfect day for regular activities: Skiing, swimming, sailing, arts & crafts, tennis, archery, climbing wall, cooking. You name it, we did it. After a delicious lunch of chicken patties we claimed lost laundry so that all could be sent out to the cleaners.

Thank goodness for the new bathhouse because we had to make sure we all got a warm shower before we headed over to Ojibwa for a mini social. The older girls and boys put on the Broadway play 13, for us. Of course this was our version of it. We all laughed and cheered on our girls. Way to go. We have some stars in the making.

We look forward to tomorrow and all the fun we will be having with our cabins as we participate in Sunday activities. So….as the evening shadows fade into the night we bid you all a good night.

Campingly Yours,
Sandy

Dearest Marimeta Families and Friends,
The Sun is my friend! Ha! Almost my best friend. When he is out, he makes everyone feel good! Occasionally he gets tired and hides behind a cloud but I always know he’s there! He’s been around a lot lately… making all of my girls love the lake, the woods, the trails and the fields! He is there to help warm the earth and our camp! [Read more…]
