Segowea October 10th Weekend Extravaganza
What a great way to wrap up our fall season at Segowea!
First we kicked it off with a board meeting in the morning, then a Smith Park annual meeting in the afternoon, before our Volunteer Thank You Dinner in the evening. Plus a scattering of work projects inbetween. Besides cooking and setting up for the thank you meal, volunteers also pulled in a few boats back to the lodge, got all the windows of the lodge and dining hall put back in, and even found time to stake out a few potential cabin locations in the new village area. Thank you volunteers!
Darlene Ward sharing Smith Park updates at the annual meeting.
Tom Harvey directing the largest "Cat's Cradle" camp has seen in years, while John Fisher is ready for any early season Vampires with his collection of wooden stakes.
Cooks extraordinaire! Thank you Richard for being our grilling specialist and to Sarah, Mike and Amy for setting up and cooking. And a big thank you to Lily (not in the photo) for buying and bringing the yummy food.
George sharing the current plans with alumni. For any not at the summer reunion, a model of the new dining hall and welcome center is centered in the photo.
Speaking of the new dining hall, we expect to begin pouring concrete for the basement foundation later this month and will send out invitations to everyone to come join us and lend a hand if interested. We hope to see you again soon.

Brother/Sister Camp lends a hand to Segowea
YMCA Camp Chingachgook (new sister camp to Wa Wa Segowea) Property Manager Chris Thompson and Assistant Property Manager Dan Izyk take a couple days from their busy work to help Norm level and square cabin Ticon at Segowea. Thank you Chris and Dan!
Question, how many jacks does it take to lift one Segowea cabin?
Norm posing for the camera or pondering what to do next?

Thank you to all who came out for our special activity on Saturday evening. Below are a few photos of work done by folks who stuck around on Sunday as well. (once the camera came out).
Over the course of the weekend we did some ceiling nail cutting, touch up painting inside the cabins in cabin row, and painting of the new cabin doors, plus a bit of painting and siding work on Keller cabin.
We were treated to a wonderful dinner by Lily Mercogliano and Friends of Segowea and as usual a great breakfast by Mike Bruns.
Amy and Minna painting Keller bathroom.
Interior facelift in Keller Cabin.
Mike and Norm laying out the new/used or slightly damaged -thus cost efficient cabinets.

Here are a few photos from camp's early days. Please contact us if you can identify any of the campers or staff in these pictures and enjoy peering back into the past!

Cook and campers in the mess hall.
The great fireplace and lodge. Can't you just see the chairs filled with campers and hear them singing along with the piano?
Canoe races on Harmon Pond.
Water slide, high dive, medium dive and docks on Harmon Pond.
