Promise Lake

Promise Lake, often simply called Promise, is the larger, younger and more-used lake at Scherman. Like Honor Lake, it is manmade and constructed in a low place where there would have otherwise been a small swampy area anyway. Promise was built after Honor, when the camp began to have more campers than lake. Promise lake is the prime spot for any waterfront activities.
