A big THANK YOU to the

TFN and Local camps for

sponsoring 18 children to

go to camp this summer.

How lucky they are to be

able to attend these

great local camps right

here on Lake Temagami

and create some great

friends and lifelong mem-

ories. Some of their best

memories are going to

camp, and a bonus is

gaining confidence and

learning new skills!

The Birch Bark Canoe build

of 2016 is now complete, the

when the tree was standing,

Mukwa Jiimaan went on its

first trip to Obabika Lake!
