DEAR ISLAND LAKERS,
    OCTOBER                     As October sneaks up on us, this past summer is now a distant
                                memory. It didn’t even feel much like summer since we didn’t get to
                                spend it all together at Island Lake. With that said, we are happy to say
                                goodbye to summer 2020 as we now look forward to summer 2021.
                                We’ve already begun planning for next summer with camper
                                enrollments and hiring staff.

                                We are looking forward to having you join the ILC family and
                                experience all that our camp has to offer - fun, new friendships, fun,
                                exciting activities, fun, new adventures,… oh, and have we mentioned
       In this issue:           FUN? That’s what we’re all about at Island Lake and we’ll do an extra
                                super duper job of providing that to all of our campers next summer,

                                be over the moon thrilled to meet you all and take wonderful care of

                                to do is disappoint our loyal campers any further. However, we have to
