Workers Meetings at Camp Northstar

 Girls' village

 New guys' village

Inside a guys' cabin - can't get everything with this lens - there are 4 bunk beds per cabin with a single bed for a counselor all in one open room.

Guys' village communal bathroom

Putt putt with L to R: Ed - conference president, Jere - science, Matt - PE, & Ryan

 On the green is the English/Bible teacher Linda (husband in red and daughter behind, she is also the principal's sister), then in the yellow pants is the pastor's wife, then Marshall - principal, and his wife Lois - Library/cafe/miscellaneous

 This is the mighty Mississippi - a few hours north we're told that you can almost step across it.

 Ryan getting ready to tee off with several other pastors/teachers at one of the Legacy courses at The Cragens.

 Next group ready to go while Ryan's group takes their second shots.

I went and spent a few minutes by the lake with the ducks.

Foxes

These foxes live on the football field and come out almost every evening. I'm hoping I can get close enough sometime to get an even better picture!

Evening

A walk around campus

 View from the dining room window/coming down the outside entrance stairs going to the Ad building.

 View from the kitchen window and straight off the end of the dorm looking toward the girls dorm and music/cafe building

 Had to peek in a door but this is the science lab (for Randy)

 The adjacent science classroom

 Computer lab (for you MJ) - this room had window air conditioning running!

 Mr. Swanson, or Swanee as he is known, has taught history at Maplewood for 47 years. Some kids painted his room for him. He has had a husky his whole time at Maplewood and at some point they made the school mascot a husky because of it.

 Teacher's office/student worker workroom set up off of the classroom

 Do you see what I see? Sometimes the Husky gets to come to class.

 Downstairs hallway

 Ryan's Bible classroom

 Main office - just like MPA when you come in

 Principal's office

 Ad building lobby with office to the left then classrooms, chapel on the right

 Fountain and pond area next to the Ad building

Music building on the left - home ec on the right - cafe downstairs. This is the oldest building on campus and it sits in front of the girls dorm.

 We guessed band room

We guessed choir room

Mom and Dad to the Rescue

 Mom and Dad came to help us get settled in and were a big help!

In between struggling to put nails/screws in walls and make things fit we took some time off to play with the Wii, see the town of Hutchinson, and enjoy Minneapolis.

 Learning to do archery

Can you tell who these people are?

 Toby loves taking naps with people

Downtown Minneapolis

 Target Field

 Our seats were quite sunny & hot
