In 1954, Laketrails Girls Camp began on Blackbird Island with the Sisters of St. Joseph as senior staff. This summer session was sometimes referred to as, "Baketrails Lace Camp." The next summer, the girls were moved to Base Camp on Oak Point. They quickly proved they were able to handle the wilderness and canoe trips as well as the boys.
As the song goes..."You can tell her by her manners, By her appetite and such, You can tell a girl from Laketrails, But you cannot tell her much!"
