Tuesday was a busy day for all the Campers, and Staff, as they packed up for their departure.

Our final banquet was filled with delicious food, good company and awesome music! It has been a great Summer and it is hard to think that it has come to an end. This morning brought final goodbyes, to friends made over the Summer. Special acknowledgements took place for our Honor Campers, Friendship Cup winner, Ryan Jacobus and Pete Johnson Award Recipient, Chuck Jacobus.

It has been an AWESOME SUMMER and we cannot wait until 2011 !!!

Good Night, Red Arrow, Good Night

Last night the RAC Players treated all parents, and visitors, to an encore performance of their

 AWESOME play_ FRITZIE. The acting was incredible and it was a truly an entertaining evening.

On their most recent Cabin night, Cabin D, had a great time surfing on Trout Lake. The Pontoon boat was put to good use as each Camper tried his hand at being a totally cool dude !!!

All Riding Campers (and Riding staff) voted for the Horse of the Year and Rookie Horse of the Year (new to RAC this season). There was a tie for Rookie of the Year between Roany and Little Driggs. Both Rookies are 4 year registered AQHA geldings and this is their first year at Red Arrow. Our Palomino, Little Driggs is a full brother to Driggs who is a 7 year registered AQHA gelding, and is at RAC for his 3rd year. Driggs was the overwhelming vote-getter for ” Most Valuable Horse”. Both Little Driggs and Driggs were foaled in Driggs, Idaho. Driggs came to RAC 3 years ago and his little brother came to Wisconsin last Fall. Roany was foaled on a ranch in Western South Dakota and came to Wisconsin over the Summer. All three are great horses and were solid horses for classes throughout the day. Our grand winner, Driggs, was presented his ribbon by our Gold Medal Olympic Rider, Javier Vazquez.

All our winners were awarded a day off and an extra scoop of grain for their accomplishments.

Hot Chocolate was a special treat for all the Campers that took part in the Island swim yesterday.

Not only do the Red Arrow boys enjoy the occasional ‘dip’ in Trout Lake … but, so do the horses. The weather is hot and the afternoon class enjoyed swimming with Roany and West.

What a treat RAC had on Saturday night with our CARNIVAL 2010 !

 Each cabin worked very hard to set up their own carnival game to share with the other Campers.

 The beautiful girls of Camp Nicolet joined us for this fun event and made the evening extra special.

Some of the awesome booths were the Haunted House, Miniature Golf,

‘Kill the Counselor’ ball toss, Dunking booth, Pie in the Face game and many others. 

All the Campers enjoyed the popcorn, cotton candy and the many other treats that were available.

A GREAT TIME WAS HAD BY ALL !!!! 

The waterfront at RAC has been busy with skiers and wakeboarders showing off

all they have learned from our talented staff.

Our woodworkers have been busy over the last few weeks as they have been finishing up the many projects that they have undertaken. Under the direction of our shop leader, Dennis, the boys have been showing their incredible talent as they whittle and stain. Check out some of the projects that they have been doing.

Cabin H had a special treat for their Cabin night last week. The Truettner Family hosted the boys with a delicious dinner and lots of water activities. Everyone had a great time !

Some awesome pictures have just arrived from Cabin E’s latest trip !

We had the opportunity to catch some of the Advanced Scuba class on the waterfront yesterday.

Cabin E had a very exciting, and crime-filled (ha ha), Cabin Night.

As you can see the Red Arrow men were dressed to kill.

Cabin H had a great trip this week in the Porcupine Mountains.

They enjoyed the scenic views and the time spent on Lake Superior.
