The places you'll walk past all week.
MYO rents the full site for the session — cabins, kitchen, lake, woods, and activity areas. These are the landmarks families ask about first.
Lifeguards on duty. Life jackets required. Canoes after lunch.
Quiet paths through pine. Daily reflection walks at sunrise.
Where the day ends. Stories, snacks, prayer, laughter.
Three meals together. Halal kitchen. No phones at the table.
Built into the trees. Helmets on. Cabins compete on the last day.
