Two Committees Added: During the 2008 Annual meeting, two committees were formalized. The Association took over the Camp Staff Scholarship administration last year and worked as an un-official committee. Jenny Fisher has taken on the committee as chair and is looking for members to help support the administration of the scholarship. The Ad-hoc History Committee has become a standing committee led by Bob Rezac. Bob and his committee are researching the historical areas of camp and recording them for future generations.
History Trail: The History Committee has accomplished a milestone by placing the first markers on the Camp Wilderness History Trail. During Alumni Reunion Week, alum painted the markers and labeled them with their perspective letter. The history trail books can be checked out at the Black Building. Next time you are at camp, take a walk through history. The committee is actively seeking historical items from camp and is always welcoming historic pictures and people interested in contributing.
Interviews Continue: Many of us have memories about our experiences at camp. Over the years, we have been trying to interview people who worked at camp through the decades. The interviews will be posted on our AV page. We recently interviewed David Quam, who worked at Wabaunaquat. Look for the interview to be posted in the near future.
