The Curfew is also in full effect, refer to your Rules and Regulations book or the Turner Website (illinoisturners.org) for those curfew times.
CAMP COMMITTEE - Look at your Camp calendars as events are starting up in full swing. This weekend we have; a Golf outing on Saturday, Pork dinner on Saturday night and something new a Family Trivia night (7-9pm at the Raths). Come on down to the Raths and join in the fun and family atmosphere. On Sunday we have the Staff Breakfast at 8:30 followed by the New (9am)/All (10) Cottage Owners meeting, all down at the Dining Room and Raths. We encourage all Camp Children Parents to also attend the Cottage Owners meetings, you will pick up additional information on Camp and the activities that will affect your little Campers.
We want to thank all the parents and adult supervisors who attended the Mandatory Parent Meeting on 6/15. Hopefully you picked up some information that was helpful and will enable us all to have a safer and happy Summer. We also appreciate those parents who volunteered to run some of the extra programs for the kids. The events and activities are for your children and grandchildren, your participation makes it possible to offer them even more. If you didn't have a chance to sign up for one of the activities or suggest a new one, please contact the Youth Committee Chairs. Their information is in the Parent Packet that is being sent out to all participants of the Parent Meeting. We intend to run an additional meeting later in the season for those parents/adult supervisors who couldn't make the first meeting. We will post those meeting specifics once it is finalized. See you at Camp, Camp Committee
FROM THE KITCHEN -Fish Fry & Saturday Dinner - The Raths is back and we're ready with great eats! This Friday's Special is a delicious baked Salmon dinner. Next week is Maxwell Street Polish Sausage Plates. For the Fish Fry we've got a couple of great new options. With your dinner you can now have a baked sweet potato. Or just order it ala carte. We also a grilled veggie plate for the lighter eaters looking for a healthy alternative. Maybe pair it with a baked sweet potato? Of course we have all your old favorites, 1/3# burgers, brats, fried & baked cod, shrimp, and big juicy ribeye steaks marinated in Fox River bottom sludge and sprinkled generously with Scott''s secret blend of herbs & spices. They are 1lb or bigger so maybe split one for dinner and add a potato ala carte? So many options!

A few notes, please note that tips are only allowed in cash moving forward, the bartenders can no longer accept coupons as tips. Also please remember that we should not be drinking and driving around camp. If you plan to partake in a few cold ones, make sure you are being safe and walking back to your cottage. Driving through camp while intoxicated puts everyone at risk - including yourself. Thank you for your attention!
