Trip Introduction:
In 2020, the middle of the pandemic. My grand daughters Y camp was closed. All their summer activities were going to be cancelled. I read about a couple YMCA camps were going to be open with a modified schedule of family activities. I was able to reserve a cabin at the Camp Du Nord in July.
Part 1 of 3
The drive from central Indiana was interesting since many things were closed. It was a two day drive. We could stop at fast food restaurants but could not go inside to use their rest rooms. We would sit in the grass off the edge of their parking lots. Then get gas and use their restrooms. The YMCA Camp du Nord is on the north side of Burntside Lake. Various size cabins, Yurts and tent area you can rent for the week. We had a small cabin for myself, my daughter, her boyfriend (my future son in law) and my two grand daughters. We spent the week in and on the water, hiking, crafts and other camp activities.
