To youth group members;
As you may know, we have been going to summer camp trips every summer around the end of July.
For the last 3-4 years, we have been going to the Michigan Warren Dunes state park along the Lake Michigan.
This is about 2 hours drive from the temple.
If we go to the same place, we need to make a reservation around this time to get good spots.
I was wondering if you like to go to the same place for this summer.
If not, do you have any other place in mind? We don't have to stay in the tents when we go.
It can be cabins or other types of lodging.
The ideal ones are with 2 large cabins (25 people each) with cooking area and remote shower.
But we should be able to have group activities together, like swimming, hiking, group games, camp fire, etc.
Another thing is the driving distance. It shouldn't be more than 3 hours away from the temple.
I will open up for suggestions until the end of next week, Feb 1st.
Please post your opinions here or let me or Miss Kim Miji know.

June and other dear youth members,
Thanks for the valuable opinion and your search for some cabins.
People always have constraints about anything they do. That is the challenge and excitement.
When a group is involved, the challenge could become easier to overcome with many helping hands.
We had a good start in exchanging the need for a common goal and some search for it.
As the time goes by, you should continuously think about and look for a more desiarable place we want to go next time.
Even for myself and others all together so far couldn't find desirable cabins for us to go for the camping trip.
Maybe we will someday build our own ... suitable just for our purpose.

Our group had actually talked about going on a camping trip and renting out a cabin last year. The plan did not fall through as planned but we wanted to rent out a cabin for the youthgroup members closer to somewhere by the lake. I believe we had looked around Wisconsin Dells area at the time.
I do not want to be speaking on behalf of everybody, but just wanted to let you know that the cabin idea would probably be welcomed by a lot of us in the group. The only problem is that it is hard for us to get everyone's opinions as a lot of the kids that would participate are still in school and its hard to reach them.
But I think it would defenitly be worth looking at other options as well, if it doesn't change the budget too much... Either way, I think everyone will have a great time camping (as we did last year) and thank you for keeping us posted!
