Family Camp

Once again Camp DuNord exceeded all expectations. Eli thinks it was his best week at DuNord ever, and he does capitalize on the offerings, completing the polar bear swim, nature notes, triathlon, soccer, counselor hunt, and all of the age-group activities. If DuNord offers it, he does it. Here are some photo highlights:

This was our home for the week. It's the perfect combination of roughing it and living in comfort. We get to sleep in beds but spend all day, everyday, outside. This year we ate lunches in the dining hall but cooked breakfast and dinner at the campsite.


This was the family taco night buffet. All three families gatered at our cooking shelter and we had many a delightful burrito, or taco, or fajita, or whatever you wanted. The last shot is of Eli with the grand finale dessert: Banana boats. There were those among us who did not go for the mushy banana treat that is cooked in the coals. But the rest raved.

Once again, we had fun with fire. The boys introduced the new art of pie-maker leaf cooking this year. They had little creations percolating at all hours of the day and night. They spent the week running from campfire to campfire, tossing in 'fireworks' (dry pine branches) and generally getting dangerously close to the flames.




The best part of the week is undoubtedly the time spent outside with my lovely boys and the fabulous NeskeMoen and Nielsen families.
