The first thing the heads of the camp told us when we got to camp was to not keep any food in or around our cabin because of the danger of bears. This went in one ear and out the other to the Men of the Edge youth group: Alden, Taylor, Ryan, and Kris had a great idea to buy Tuna fish at the local Wal-Mart to put in the girls cabin. After Alden opened the tuna he set it outside the cabin while we all waited for the right time to put it in the girl's cabin. However, a strange thing happened about 10 minets later. While sitting on the back porch Keith spotted A BEAR circling the cabin. Over the course of the next hour and a half the bear went through the trash and contiued to hang around the cabin. We were smart enough though that none of us got closer than 15 yards from the bear and we were all happy to escape with our lives.

**Leader Discliamer** -- The youth's lives were never at risk and the bear was really a cub. None of the youth got too close to the bear as well.

I'm sure the Boven family is proud that their son is showing that he's such a "cubs" fan (get it - bear cub...)
Priceless! Did anyone get a picture of the bear?
