 The bog on North Lake in Legionville has caused problems for months now as crews continuously try to work to move it. With the Legionville Safety Summer Camp approaching, time is of the essence. On Sunday, the Minnesota DNR worked with the Lakes Association and the American Legion to help move the middle section of the bog. Volunteers with boats on the lake joined in the effort as well strapping their water crafts to the bog to help pull it away. The bog was so heavy that it needed to be cut up into several smaller pieces to get it to move. It goes to show you what a community does when everybody comes together. We had lots of boats out here. We did have a pretty good wind, so we wanted to make sure we had boats on the outside so as soon as it was out, it wouldn't get away from us and we could contain it, push it over where it belongs. There were people staking down as we put pieces over there. There were boats starting to pull out, there were boats controlling it. It was just a great day. Only a third of the bog was moved, causing the Legionville Safety Summer Camp to be canceled. Many camp activities take place in the water and organizers knew the bog would not be moved in time. Nearly 600 kids were scheduled to attend this year, but families and organizations are expected to get a full refund. Safety was the major concern over why the camp needed to be closed this summer. Teenagers are teenagers. I mean, I remember when I went to camp, you know, you kind of sometimes do things you probably shouldn't. The temptation would be there to say, wow, let's all go meet on the bog. And if you fall through that thing, you're probably not coming back up. The Legionville Camp plans to make improvements over the summer and the age restriction will be extended to 14 years old next season. This is the first time Legionville Safety Summer Camp has been closed since World War II.
