Bye, bye bachelor life

Posted on by • 0 Comments

Tomorrow (6/23) will officially signal the end of the early season bachelor life for me as the “estrogen invasion” is on it’s way. The three girls (Megan, Emily and Allison) are travelling with friends and are scheduled to arrive tomorrow. Milissa and Sara will also be arriving this week, but have been delayed just a little by a huge power outage back home. In any event the power has been restored and they will be on the road to camp soon.

This (despite my jokes about swimming in the estrogen pool) signals a joyous time in camp as our family is reunited and the kids all look forward to seeing their buddies in camp who’s families vacation with us annually. They look forward to re-connecting with their camp friends and spending a week with new friends most every week.  I can remember being so concerned about keeping the girls entertained in the wilderness of Canada when the camp was first purchased. Those concerns were alleviated by then end of their first day in camp nearly six years ago.

It is refreshing to see them in camp and finding ways to entertain themselves and learn about the nature and wildlife here, as opposed to the homelife of TV, Wii games and text messaging. Now if I can just find a way to keep the boys out of the picture for the next 20 years or so. Hmmmm……………..maybe being a bachelor isn’t so bad?

Peffley's Wilderness Camp is a family owned and operated camp. Dave has been fishing Wabaskang Lake for over 25 years and was previously a guest of this camp for 12 years prior to purchasing the camp in 2005. I am a proud supporter of our military and offer a nice discount during the month of July to our guests who have also served. I have three daughters ranging in ages from 16-21 who spend much of their summer with us in camp and have totally embraced the wilderness experience we offer. They have for years referred to it as the "best summer experience ever".

While rarely necessary on our lake, because I do have a very good working knowledge on how and where to fish on Wabaskang Lake and our portage waters, I will guide groups if asked to. Otherwise, I am always happy to share information with our guests and provide them well marked lake maps so they can start catching fish their first day in camp.

I pride myself on running a very clean and well managed camp with your satisfaction our top priority. Many guests who have fished from this camp for over 20 years, and several more that have fished here for over 30 years and even some over 40 years.
