Pick your arrival and departure times now!

Our annual letters to customers with reservations will be arriving in your mail any day now.
These letters note your vacation dates, the number of people in your group, the type of plan you wanted (American Plan or Housekeeping) and also your preference for boat times both for arriving in Red Lake and departing from camp.
Incidentally, our package rates will be unchanged for 2013!
Our policy is to let you choose your boat times at the time you make your deposit.
In other words, the first people with deposits get the first choice on arrival and departure boats.
You can beat the mail by calling us at our winter phone number: 807-475-7246 and use a credit card to make your deposit which is $100 per person.
Some of you have already sent your deposits or did so when you were at camp last summer. Thank you! Unless you told us differently, we will have slotted you into the same arrival and departure times as last year. It doesn't hurt to call us and check anyway.
Our transportation boat, the Lickety Split, picks up guests in Red Lake on Saturdays and Sundays at 9 a.m., 10:30 a.m. and 2 p.m.
At the end of the week it departs camp for Red Lake, both Friday and Saturday, at 6:30 a.m. and 8 a.m.
So to repeat, as an incentive for people to get their deposits in right away, they get to choose their arrival and departure times when they make their deposit.
It's the old 'early bird gets the worm ' story except you are the bird and the boat is the worm!
We would prefer you call us rather than e-mail this information as we believe it a more secure way of transmitting your credit card number. But it's up to you.
What happens if the boat you wanted is already full? The Lickety Split carries nine people and their luggage, usually, depending on the size of the people and the amount of gear they bring. If the boat is already booked, then we'll move you to next available time. It's not a long wait. The round trip takes just 90 minutes.
