This summer we were lucky enough to have Spencer Roberts share his talents with us related to web design. Spencer also spent many hours continuing the historical work started by David Swett. He completed the task of digitalizing all our photographs and old slides and began the process of putting some of these photos on our website. Together we are in the beginning stages of producing a history of camp using these documents.
One of the great finds of the summer were some old slides that were given to us this past winter. They show the early days of our camping program both here and at the YMCA camp. By this time next year we hope to have a
history of camp near completion.
WE NEED YOUR HELP in finding old slides, photos or even home movies of camp. Thanks to a gift of a slide scanner from David Swett, we are able to scan slides. Over the years we have received gifts of photos and slides, but we know there still must be a lot more out there. We would love to have as much material as we can, so please check your attic. We would especially like to find some home movies taken at camp.
I would like to thank Spencer Roberts, Ethan Thombs and David Swett for spending so many hours doing all the work. Our history is important and we need to preserve it for the generations to come. And don't think it is not
important to the younger campers; when I talk about the history of camp they show incredible interest.
Hope you are all enjoying the fall and getting ready for the holiday season.
