HUNT #5

The hunt was a very good success! We had 30 people who hunted and the reports are still coming in, and the amount of finds are amazing. We had one hunter that never found a silver coin since he started hunt earlier this year. I told him he will get his first silver coin if he went to the hunt and boy did he. He found his first silver coin, a 1904 Barber Quarter! Way to go Brian!

HERE ARE SOME OF THE WATER FINDS FROM THE LAKE AT

CAMP ROSENTHAL

THE CAMP OFFICE MANAGER SPOKE TO ALL OF US DURING OUR WONDERFUL LUNCH THEY PROVIDED ABOUT JUST THE DAY BEFORE ONE OF THE COUNCILORS LOST HIS GOLD DIAMOND RING EITHER ON THE BEACH OR BY THE PICNIC TABLES AND ASKED IF WE FOUND IT WOULD WE PLEASE RETURN IT. WE ALL AGREED. 

DAVE MCLAREN WAS THE HUNTER THAT FOUND THE RING AND RETURNED IT TO THE COUNCILOR.

THANKS DAVE

 In the early 1960"s is when CYC (Chicago Youth Centers)  Chicago's  largest locally based independant youth development organization purchased Camp Rosenthal. Founded in 1956, CYC has been working with kids and helping them dream big dreams and succeed in school and in life. Prior to CYC's ownership of the camp Chicago YMCA was the previous owner of this great Camp.

The Boy and Girl Scouts have had there Jamberee's at this camp. I spoke to the historian and manager of Camp Rosenthal and they it dated back 12 years since the last time they were there in the jamberee format. Youth Band Camps, Chicago Childrens choir to name just a few are also some of the orginizations that have used the Camp for there practices.

Alot of Corporations like Whirpool have had there annual picnics here.

The camp dining hall is large enough for all campers to eat together family style. The food is delicious and pleniful-no one leaves a meal hungry.

For more information on the camp itself, go to the camps web site and check it out in more detail go to there camp sign above and "click" on it and it will take you to their web site.
