“On Burt Lake in Northern Michigan” is a photo-history of a summer camp founded in 1925 to offer boys of all ages the opportunity to learn new skills, develop self-confidence and have fun while exploring nature and learning to live together in the “out-of-doors.” The tag line used in many publications, “on Burt Lake” not only oriented the newcomer to the camp’s desirable location, it captured Herb Twining’s conviction that a good summer camp was the best investment a parent could make in a boy’s development. And for anyone who had spent a summer at Al-Gon-Quian and fallen under its spell, the phrase was a magic carpet to transport them back to days spent swimming and horseback riding, nights under the stars, and breakfast cooked over an open fire. Let “On Burt Lake in Northern Michigan” transport you to the “relaxing, secluded atmosphere” that was Camp Al-Gon-Quian for Boys.
