This year we’ve all been dealing with unhealthy air, but summer camps and the kids who attend them have been facing extra challenges. How are they coping and is this the new normal? We talk to one Boundary Waters newbie and one veteran about their trials and triumphs in Minnesota’s wilderness crown jewel. Plus, a unique new wedding venue in North St. Paul, and it might tell us a little something about wedding trends in general.
Read more about the hot, smoky, rainy summer, going to the Boundary Waters for the first time and the Garter Toss wedding chapel.
This week our guests are built environment reporter Greta Kaul, breaking news intern Anna Sago, general assignment reporter Alex Chhith, Minneapolis reporter Susan Du and features reporter Rachel Hutton.
