The last session is always a little special at Camp Segowea. Summer relationships start to become year round friendships. The box ball games are a little more serious to see who really is the champ. The last chapel means bring plenty of kleenex! Kids are packing up and taking many trips to Lost & Found to find those lost flip flops. And kids start counting down the days until next year when the fun can begin all over again! It's been a special summer here at Wa Wa as it's the first time in five years we've been open. It seems like we picked up right where we left off 5 years ago, having a special place where kids can come and be accepted for who they are, grow and then see them become who they are meant to be.
It's the end of the summer season, but not happenings here at Wa Wa Segowea! There's weekends in September and October to come up to camp and lend a hand with the fall projects. Property Director Norm Button has many projects on the list! On September 18th, there's the Smith Park Annual Meeting (Smith Park along with the Capital District YMCA are the ones responsible for Camp). They'll be a renewed focus on fundraising for more improvements for next summer season. Here's the rundown of dates-
September 18th- Smith Park Meeting & Camp Work Weekend (18th & 19th)
September 25th & 26th- Camp Work Weekend
October 9th & 10th- Camp Work Weekend
In the meantime, kids are still enjoying themselves. After all, Camp is Fun! The last session is happening right now. Soon, all boats will be brought in. Life jackets will be hung up inside. Soccer balls and ping pong paddles will be put in their storage places. But not yet! Here's some pictures from the first couple days of the last session.
