Dear Campers:

As kayaks are beginning to slowly cruise around the pond we all start the summer season on Miles Pond. It is this time of year that many of us reunite with the pond and enjoy the friendships we all cherish. Our loons returned as soon as the ice was out this year and we hope for healthy babies. Let’s also pray for some good weather, we had enough rain last summer!
