Council Comments: 

High Harbour 2003 - Another successful event at High Harbour!

Picture schedules, cabin assignments, blob patches, and activities seemed

to all be a success.

We may need to improve the following: process for boat assignments, more

organization at the Blob area, camp store open longer hours, and rotating

smaller tribes to the cabins (combine tribes).
