From choosing the wood, to sanding it down, and learning to use a lathe to shape the barrel, campers constructed their pens from scratch. Ryan has been visiting Owego for several years and sharing his talents with the campers. Originally from Cincinnati, Ryan works as a high school teacher and wrestling coach during the school year. Owego is lucky to have him as our special guest this weekend! Your next letter from Owego may have been written with the very same implement your child created himself!\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-1464\" src=\"http:\/\/www.lakeowego.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/Pen-making-225x300.jpeg\" alt=\"\" width=\"225\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"http:\/\/www.lakeowego.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/Pen-making-225x300.jpeg 225w, http:\/\/www.lakeowego.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/Pen-making-768x1024.jpeg 768w, http:\/\/www.lakeowego.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/Pen-making-113x150.jpeg 113w, http:\/\/www.lakeowego.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/Pen-making-1152x1536.jpeg 1152w, http:\/\/www.lakeowego.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/Pen-making.jpeg 1512w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 225px) 100vw, 225px\" \/> <img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-1465\" src=\"http:\/\/www.lakeowego.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/Pen-making-2-225x300.jpeg\" alt=\"\" width=\"225\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"http:\/\/www.lakeowego.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/Pen-making-2-225x300.jpeg 225w, http:\/\/www.lakeowego.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/Pen-making-2-768x1024.jpeg 768w, http:\/\/www.lakeowego.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/Pen-making-2-113x150.jpeg 113w, http:\/\/www.lakeowego.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/Pen-making-2-1152x1536.jpeg 1152w, http:\/\/www.lakeowego.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/Pen-making-2.jpeg 1512w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 225px) 100vw, 225px\" \/> <img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-1466\" src=\"http:\/\/www.lakeowego.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/Pen-making-3-300x200.jpeg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"200\" srcset=\"http:\/\/www.lakeowego.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/Pen-making-3-300x200.jpeg 300w, http:\/\/www.lakeowego.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/Pen-making-3-1024x683.jpeg 1024w, http:\/\/www.lakeowego.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/Pen-making-3-150x100.jpeg 150w, http:\/\/www.lakeowego.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/Pen-making-3-768x512.jpeg 768w, http:\/\/www.lakeowego.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/Pen-making-3-1536x1024.jpeg 1536w, http:\/\/www.lakeowego.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/Pen-making-3-2048x1365.jpeg 2048w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The afternoon was a flurry of activity, as many campers participated in various Intercamp games with Timber Tops. There was a Tennis tournament at Owego, an Art competition at Timber Tops, and a Fishing tournament running simultaneously at both Owego and Timber Tops. Campers who opted to join these Intercamp games got to engage in friendly competition in areas typically reserved for team sports like basketball or soccer. One of the most magical things about Lake Owego Camp is the opportunities for everyone to excel at what they love. If you\u2019re an athlete, that\u2019s awesome! If you love art, that\u2019s super-cool! If you prefer water activities, we\u2019ve got you covered! On the fields, on the courts, and in the art studio, Owegans always shine.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><br style=\"font-weight: 400;\" \/><br style=\"font-weight: 400;\" \/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The morning dawned sunny and warm, and campers scurried out of their bunks and off to line-up and breakfast.
