WINAPE REUNION A RESOUNDING SUCCESS!
We had over 130
attendees at the August 2007 Reunion and shared many laughs, stories, hugs, remembrances, and a few tears.
From
the 1937 Campers to the grandkids, everyone checked out the scrapbooks, found their names on the cabin walls, gave a "camper
inspection" to Cedar Crest (there were hospital corners on all beds!) and exchanged tales.
Then we had about 30
hikers to Mt. Elan. Even Ginevra Caswell made it up and down, although at a few points it seemed too
steep!
After a cool swim in Seymour Lake (unusually warm at around 76 degrees) it was off to the Dining Hall for fellowship,
a great banquet and ice cream dessert with strawberries. Trading Post, the Campfire, songs, stories, taps, the
mystery bugler and stars and fireworks followed.
Sunday, there was a run around Echo, a Polar Bear (where even Chip
Cleland was persuaded to dive in) and a breakfast and lakefront activity day.
We lucked out on the weather as it rained
hard Monday, August 6 as I left Camp!
Certainly, there were many angels, spirits of the Four Winds, old
campers and counselors and others watching over Camp Winape, Lake Seymour and the attendees on a glorious Saturday and Sunday.
Thank
you all for attending. Here is a group photo. We will post more as soon as possible.
