- News from the Directors
A letter from Debbie & Eric, addressing their excitement about the opening of Camp Akeela in Wisconsin! - Blayne’s Bulletin
A site update from Blayne, including a very exciting photo of Bunk 4’s new porch! That’s not the only cabin getting a new porch, either. There’s also some news and a picture of a well-known building in camp being demolished. (It will be replaced before next summer!) - Kev’s Korner
A note from assistant director Kevin Trimble, reflecting on the concept of growth, both personal and professional. He highlights how Akeela has been able to grow while staying true to who we are as a community. - Wedding Bells
