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...
