It is that time of year when the camp kids get a day away from camp to hang out in Eagle River. Since we literally have hundreds of lakes in the area we have several camps. Many times the Eagle River visit coincides with Parents weekend, so many parents bring their children into the store looking for a souvenir from our area. Arrow Gift Shop is primarily a souvenir shop but most parents invest in a pair of Minnetonka Moccasins for their camper.
Moccasins are a sensible gift for their campers. First, they are a gift that their child will probably wear every day. Second, Minnetonkas are so durable that they literally seem to last forever. We have adults come in claiming they still own their moccasins from when they were kids. I guess that is one of the best features of Minnetonka Moccasins-they really take a beating. At our shop, if you have any problems with your moccasins we replace them. We have had customers bring them in after 3-4 months of continuous wearing complaining about a stitch that has broken and we just give them a new pair of shoes and send the old ones back.
Kate and I have sent our kids to Honey Rock which was an experience for them. Even if you are visiting Eagle River for a week or have a cabin up here your kids will still love to stay a few day at camp.
I have also spent some time at Camp Manitowish working with kids in Angel on my Shoulder program. This was a great experience for myself working with these kids.
