Lake childhood memories

I wonder if anyone would like to share their Lake childhood memories?

I remember being 5 years old (in 1963) and my grandfather and grandmother
took us tent camping at Camp Iroquois on the lake. My grandfather had built a kitchen box out of plywood that folded out and had a little coleman gas stove and all the cooking implements. If it rained they told us not to touch the canvas or the tent would leak.

The Camp Iroquois beach had a layer of clay under it if you dug down that you could make things out of.

One evening I saw a gas lantern on fire on the beach and I yelled out. Every one rushed over and threw sand on it and put it out. They said I saved the day!
I can remember feeling very proud.
