The Camp Lake James Achievement Program is an engaging way for kids of all ages – from toddlers to grand-parents –to connect and appreciate the natural environment of Lake James. Become part of the social and sporting scene, and take advantage of every bit of the sheer fun that the lake has to offer. These programs connect us to one another, our communities and to the awesome natural wonders that surround us.

The achievement program will begin at The Great American Backyard Campout where families who sign up ahead of time will receive their family’s paddle and the first brand – The Campout Brand. More information on the program and other achievement brands will be available that weekend and if you are unable to attend let us know and we can mail you information about the program! The paddle will be a great way for families to display all their accomplishments together here on Lake James.

Make sure you sign up for the Campout on June 23 so your family can participate in the first branding of the paddle ceremony! This will be a Camp Lake James tradition for years to come.

I was vice president of the men’s Ultimate Frisbee team at Appalachian State and that is my passion, so if anyone is interested in throwing frisbee talk to me! I was born and raised in Asheville, NC. I am excited to be here at Camp Lake James and I look forward to meeting all of you!

NATURE NOTES: RED WOLFWestern North Carolina has deemed 2012 the year of the Red Wolf!! In order to bring more attention to these magnificent creatures, we are making them our June Nature Notes, so we can learn a little bit about what is being done in WNC to rehabilitate the population.

Red wolves were once a plentiful population in the south eastern United States, however, currently there are only 300 left in the world, and only 100 of those are left in the wild. The Red Wolf is no longer found in WNC. The only ones left in the wild in NC are found at the Alligator River National Wild Refuge on the East Coast of NC. Should the Red Wolf successfully be reintroduce to the wild in WNC, they would not have a negative effects on humans. Like their cousin the Grey Wolf, the Red Wolf is very shy and avoids human contact instead of being aggressive.

The Red Wolf can range in colors from brown, to grey, to red, but the distinguishing features of this animal are the creamy chest and front legs. If you would like to learn more, you can visit the WNC Nature Center in Asheville. They have a mating pair, Rufus and Angel, living in captivity which had a litter of one pup in 2009, Mayo. That pup has now been introduced to her future potential mate, Phoenix. This would be a great learning experience for the family to get out and see some nature!
