On the shores of Lake McWain, there sits a rock and tree that are our namesake. The original founders wanted to come up with a camp name that was different from all the other camps who were using Native American names. When Chief and Onie saw the rock and tree they knew their name immediately. Since 1926 there have been at least 4 different birch trees on the rock. The Birch Rock sits in a fenced in area that we now use for Tree Talk on Sundays. This fenced in area is considered sacred ground and is well cared for and respected.
