Camp Wa Wa Segowea Fall Happenings!

While it may seem that camp ended a short period of time ago, believe it or not, in just 8 months, we'll be back in the camp season!   We'll have survived the long winter (which here in the northeast, has already started!)  Plans will have been made to make sure 2012 is a exciting, safe and rewarding summer at camp.  Some new ideas, mixed in with the continuation of true Wa Wa traditions adding up to once again, be that traditional camp to send your child to.

With that in mind, we are happy to say that registration for the summer season of 2012 is officially open!  Simply go to the CDYMCA website and register-

It's been a productive autumn so far at camp and we have one more exciting happening taking place in November. There were a couple of work weekends taking place in September and October, that resulted in closing up the camp for the winter as well as working on the Property Director's cabin.  Volunteers moved lumber, put shutters up, and stored some items so the yearlong residents wouldn't get into them.  Some volunteers also helped put in some insulation for Norm & Dianne's home and a group of Camp Chingachgook volunteers came up and lent a hand on the cabin as well.  Thanks to all that pitched in!

Here's some pictures taken the last few weeks during fall and early winter!

In November, on Saturday the 12th, we'll be holding the 2nd Annual Leadership Rally, taking place at the Capital District YMCA Administrative offices in Albany, NY. What is the rally all about?  Just like last year's event, we'll be celebrating our successful summer at camp and seeing what our next steps will be.  We will also be presenting our Annual Leadership Award and enjoying a light lunch together.
