Lakota had a minority but strong showing at the April camp.  The long journey was well worth the drive as the tee pee accommodations were very authentic and saved a lot of time with not having to set up and break down a tent.

Sweet Friday was a big hit with s’mores around the Nation camp fire as Princess Idol raged with talent. Saturday was filled with many activities, fishing in ponds stocked with rainbow trout, ropes courses for younger and older princesses, a sports field to play bocce ball, badminton, Frisbee, soccer.

Big Rock Creek Camp has a rich and somewhat racy history.  Throughout the decades, this property has changed hands and missions many times. In its heyday, Paradise Springs (Big Rock Creek) boasted up to 1,000 guests in a weekend. The guest list included such silent film stars as Charlie Chaplin, Gloria Swanson, W.C. Fields, Marion Davies, W. Randolph Hearst, Francis X. Bushman and Mary Pickford.  Later in its history, Paradise Springs played host to John Wayne, Noah Beery Jr., and Johnny Weissmuller as well as many others.

With all the activities and beautiful setting it is no wonder this is a popular site. A very nice weekend with our daughters indeed!
