The summer season of 2011 is over and what a fantastic summer it was! Returning campers from last year and years past joined new campers for that magical Segowea experience. Session 8 was the biggest of the summer and with the additional help of some alumni volunteers, camp was packed! All cabins were used and the dining hall was full of hungry children, ready to eat!
Kids started the week dealing with a couple days of rain, but as the Olympics began, the sun came out and dried everything and the games began! Younger campers and older campers joined together on three Olympic teams, cheering each other on in events ranging from the 100 yard dash to the frisbee toss. There was the three-legged race, the javelin throw and of course the hula hoop competition! It was a contest for the ages and led by alumni volunteers, Katie and Matt, and with the whole camp included, much fun was had! It was a great event to wrap-up the summer of 2011.
A big thanks goes out to the Great Summer staff of Camp Wa Wa Segowea, the dynamic CIT's, the terrific leadership of the team of Kat, Frank, Candace, and Norm & Dianne, the first class kitchen staff of Chris, Adele and Will and all the wonderful volunteers. It truly was a summer to remember. Can't wait till next year!
