To the Journal editor:

The board of Camp New Day U.P. would like to take this opportunity to thank all the people and organizations that have supported our 2023 summer camp.

It was our best camp yet with 27 marvelous campers from across the Upper Peninsula supported by 15 great counselors and staff members.

The campers were all very excited to be at camp and didn’t let the rainy weather discourage them. Everyone had a wonderful time.
