All of these events help support camp in one way or another and we are proud to support it!
YMCA Camp Wa Wa Segowea sits on close to 500 acres in the Berkshire Mountains in Western Massachusetts. It is on this large property that we have a 23 acre spring-fed pond, a large variety of trees and flowers and a year round home for many amphibians, birds, insects, reptiles, fish and of course, furry animals! It definitely is nature at its finest! To see a red-tailed hawk, chipmunks scurrying about and many red efts, it would just be a normal day at Wa Wa. With that in mind, here's a few pictures of Mother Nature's finest seen at Camp Segowea through the years.

First, just a few birds...






Some of the insect world...





Some frogs and toads...






A couple reptiles...




Some more amphibians...




Some work done by the "locals"...




Our furry friends...







A couple fish...




And a couple turtles!





Okay, so not a real turtle, but a good cause coming up in May!
