Rathskeller Bar - Welcome back to the bar in 2021! We are excited to serve you all this summer! Some important notes regarding the bar:
    1. It is illegal to drink alcohol under the age of 21 which also means it is illegal to purchase and provide alcohol to anyone under the age of 21!
    2. ID will be requested for anyone who appears to be under age 35 as required by law. Your hand will be stamped once we have verified you are 21 or over.   

    3. If a bartender feels that you have been overserved, they will be cutting off service.
Please understand that it is our right to do so to protect you and camp. Please refrain from giving the bartenders a hard time if this happens to you.  With that being said, we hope this summer is one for the record books! Tina will be back with Specials from time to time – watch out for more info in the weekly bulletin! 

Thank you, Tina

Ladies Auxiliary/Card Party - The Illinois District Annual Card Party is on July 17th at 7:30P.M. In the Camp Dining Hall. Due to not being able to host this event in 2000, we were not able to raise our necessary funds.  Several individuals donated monies to help pay the ground lease. For all the past donations, we have been able to put on a new roof, replace all windows, upgrade the electricity, repair the plumbing and were able to purchase other items. We would appreciate any support you can give us so that we can continue with the upkeep and improvements. Thank you, Ann

Turner Ladies - we are hoping to begin using the Ladies’ Clubhouse again.  It is a beautiful old building that has not seen much use in the past years.  It is our hope to have it open for game days on Tuesdays starting Tuesday, June 22nd from 10:00 AM until ?  Bring your own group and game or come alone and join in with others.  Everyone is welcome.  Come once or every week as it suits your schedule.  We are suggesting a voluntary donation of $3.00 for each visit to help defray the cost of utilities, with any surplus being donated to the Clubhouse at the end of the season.  If you have any questions contact Bev Hussar, Ann Litza or Barbie Zweifel. Thank you, Ann
