What is a red door doing standing at the edge of a green forest?

Come to Ruggles Camp and explore the environment and our surroundings.

Explore nature.

Take a quiet walk in the woods.

Watch for the animals.

Take photos of your journey.

Draw.

Meditate.

Paint.

Observe.

Sit a spell.


One individual said the trip reminded them as follows ::

When I think of Ruggles, I think of "The Green Cathedral", a song our chorus sang in high school. Perhaps this is the door to the cathedral?

"The Green Cathedral"

by

Carl Hahn & Gordon Johnstone

I know a green cathedral, a hollowed forest shrine,

Where trees in love join hands above to arch your prayer and mine.

Within its cool depths sacred, the priestly cedar sighs
And the fir and pine lift arms divine unto the clear blue skies.

In my dear green cathedral there is a quiet seat
And choir loft in branched croft where songs of birds hymn sweet.

And I like to think at evening when the stars its arches light

That my Lord and God treads its hallowed sod in the cool, calm peace of night.
