Camp Starts in -  

My journey to CPLV all started with my mom! She went when she was young and helped built the old shacks at Lewis Village! I remember counting down the days till the buses left for the four-hour drive to camp! I made so many friends the years I went and I’m still friends with some of those people today. I learned how to swim at CPLV! I did a lake swim and would swim ever swimming event during color war! I remember when we would have paint war at the end of the summer at Poyntelle, and singing wonder wall at the waterfront at Lewis. Whether it’s the friends we made, stories we share, and memories we have that will last a lift time. CPLV will always be my second home, and have a special place in my heart!
