We hope your winter holiday was filled with rest, the warmth of community, and the quiet promise of a season about to turn. Over the past few weeks, camp has experienced the full spectrum of winter. Snow, rain, wind, and bright sun have each left their mark. The lake, especially, has been in constant motion. Entire ice shelves appear and disappear in a matter of days.

Dear friends, We are so excited that the new maintenance shed is almost complete - and we hope you will be able to come and see if for yourself at An Especially Special Night. But I wanted to take the time to celebrate the current maintenance shed, which has served Camp Kintail for the last 45 years. If those walls could talk, I am sure there would be a lot of stories!
