St. John's Lutheran Church from Waverly Iowa was up for a Father and Son adventure. When Pastor Versemann called us during the winter to talk about the trip, he felt it was important that they all camp together and not break up into groups of 9 as required by the BWCA permit. So we did something a little different. We set up a base camp for them on the edge of the BWCA and they took day trips into the BWCA and surrounding lakes. They were able to take day trips as smaller groups but still gather together each morning and evening.
We had fun with it because their base camp was only about two miles from the lodge and instead of preparing the food for the full trip and sending it out, we took food to them every day. It gave us a chance to be a little more creative with the food options since we didn't have to worry about weight. It was also nice to take things like brownies and monster bars over to them still warm from the oven.
They finished their last day with a big pancake breakfast in the lodge and then into the cars again to go back to Waverly with many stories to share.
Wade White sent us these photos. One is of Wade and his son the other of the entire group gathered on the porch of the lodge their final day.
