The young folks were just great!  I enjoyed working with each of younand hope you had as much fun as it looked like you were having.   ^:)^   Most important--you were safe!  Great job!

Thank you to the host range volunteers.  You really rolled out the red carpet for us and made this a wonderful event and experience.  It was clear how much this youth camp means to you and it was an honor to be able to help out.

I can't wait to come back for the Appleseed scheduled for Sep. 26-27 at this location.  It is a beautiful facility that has a great layout for our program and I know will set the stage for a fantastic weekend.  I hope to see many of you there!  (The adults have definitely earned some range time!)  Information and a sign up link is on the "LaPorte" line at the following link:

We also hold Appleseed events at other nearby clubs if you are busy that particular weekend. The "Niles, MI" events at Bend of the River Conservation Club are probably closest (there is one in October). and the Watervliet Rod & Gun Club is within 1 hour and there are events in Indiana and Illinois as well.

Now...photos!

"The Tree of Liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants." -Thomas Jefferson

"Our forefathers gave us a better way to refresh the Tree of Liberty. If we give our blood and sweat now,  willingly, by using the political and social processes they secured for us with their lives, maybe our own Posterity will never have to unwillingly spill their blood and tears to re-secure their Liberty. " - Janir

I shall work on getting additional loaners before next year's event.

Of course I didn't send the tubers.  So there's always that option.....
