Don Munn was a local dairy farmer and owner of [[Springer's Store]] in the early '80s with his love [[Janice Walker]].  It was during that time that Don started doing maintenance around Birch Rock.  During the lean years in the late '80s through mid-'90s, it was Donald who did his best to save money where he could and keep the place in good enough shape to function safely.  Thanks to his local connections, money saving practices, and willingness to loan the camp his tools and sometimes even his land for storage, Don was certainly one of the main reasons Birch Rock was able to stay open.  Birch Rock will be forever grateful.

Today was a beautiful day on Lake McWain. The sun was shining with a light breeze from the West. Many of our campers were down at campcraft earning their knife rights, so they can use a knife safely on campus. We also completed all of our tests for instructional swim with campers dividing into proper swim groups.

With the wind gusting up in the afternoon, many campers were sailing across our lovely lake and sometimes capsizing. Sailing Instructor Erik Joelsson decided this would be a great time to teach the kids capsizing and recovery techniques.

In the evening, Ryan Massey taught the camp a new game he invented called "Geronimo". It's a lot like capture-the-flag but with a number of twists.

Super Camper: Will Potter- for his positive attitude at Lacrosse, receiving his knife rights and being an all around great guy.

Best Beds: Matt Clifford and Joe Rood

Cleanest Cabin: Buzzards Roost
