Keep in touch with your White Birch Village Family
A sign fall has arrived…..
The arrival of colder temperatures brings an end to swimming to the raft, so today the raft went back into storage.
The raft sits on top of a boat for a ride to the channel.

Reliving Memories
Last week my niece, Sierra, spent a weeks vacation at the resort. She just graduated from college in May and this is the first summer she has been able to be here since high school. It was such a joy to watch her relive all of her childhood memories. She was here for 6 days and she filled it with every possible activity she could. I had a smile on my face the whole week watching her. It truly reminds me why White Birch Village is such a special place and why our statement “Where memories are Made” is what this resort is all about. Along with the pictures of Sierra’s activities for the week they also participated in the teen/adult treasure hunt, did the scavenger hunt, took several pontoon boat rides, spent time in the game room and the hot tub. the only disappointment for her was that there wasn’t a picnic the week she was here.

Fishing!
This is what your face looks like when you lose the first musky you have ever had on your line 🙂
Sierras friend, Mari, caught the largest fish of the week! It was a 24-25 inch northern.
They even got into the hunt for Charlie. 
The creek was a favorite of Sierras! They caught frogs and crayfish!
This is a great photo of how the resort looks at night from the lake.
Pileated Woodpecker
A young pileated woodpecker was trying to get into the bird feeders by the office. I snuck outside with the camera to take a picture. I didn’t want to frighten it away. I didn’t have to worry as the woodpecker didn’t care that there were three of us standing there watching him. He flew right over our heads telling us to “get out-of-the-way”. 🙂
Smallest fish of the year
It doesn’t matter what size fish you catch, it’s the fun of being on the water with family. Grandpa Bill was all smiles with his small catch because he was enjoying time spent with his granddaughters.
Campfire Fun!
The past three weeks the campfire pit has been a busy place. One night there was over 35 people enjoying the fire, roasting marshmallows and making memories.
A letter to the chippies
During one of our Thursday morning treasure hunts a little girl didn’t want the chipmunks to think she had forgotten about feeding them. So she left them this note and a bowl of peanuts while she was busy on the treasure hunt. What spoiled chipmunks we have here at the resort.
Searching for a Musky
A musky was hanging around the beach dock all last week. One night there was a fishing pole in the water at each pier slip with everyone fighting to be the first one to catch the musky. Mr. Musky eluded them all. It was a sight to see. The kids were so excited about it. they kept coming to me giving me a minute to minute report.
Fishing in the Mist
One of our guests shared this great picture, so I thought I would post it. A picturesque day to fish.
Minnow races continue to be a hit
The Tuesday afternoon minnow races have brought the competition out in all of our guests. Each week there has been at least 50 people at the ebach participating in the races.
When the adults woudl see how much the kids were having they had to have their turn at it also.
Choosing the minnow and putting it in the starting gate is part of the fun.
