Camp Clark - July 2012.



These photos were taken by my wife Donna while she was on a vacation last week to see her family in the Taunton MA region. Thanks to her and her dad for taking the time to take these photos.

 I hope everyone enjoys them as much as I do.

We should all be happy to see just how well the current steward's of the land, lake and buildings are honoring their stewardship.

Although some of the buildings have changed.  And a few old ones are gone.  And some new ones have been built.  It is still the camp we all knew.

Thanks to the Camp Lyndon staff and it's supporters for keeping our camp memories alive and flourishing

 #2012-06  The Gazebo near the waterfront entrance. The "Junior" Section in the distance. I believe the craft shop use to sit on the approximate footprint where the Gazebo now sits.

  #2012-08 The "Junior Section" from the Gazebo area.


#2012-09 The "Waterfront and Junior Section" as seen from the "Boat House".


 #2012-10 The "Nature Shack". This was one of my favorite places to hang out. It's probably why I have a BS in Biology.

 #2012-11 The upper floor in the "Boat House". I helped pound nails into the sub-flooring when this building was being built.

 #2012-12 This building used to be the "Candy Shack" in the late 50's and early 60's. If memory serves me right.

#2012-13 The "Boat House".



#2012-14 Camp Staff Jeremy Shea served as Donna's guide for the tour. Thanks Jeremy for making this 2012 photo visit to "Camp Clark" possible.


#2012-15 The "Waterfront". This photo made me smile. It is a great feeling to see "our memories" are alive and well and kids are still there.


#2012-16 The "Boat House".


#2012-17 The "Waterfront" for the "Dining Hall".


 #2012-18 Inside the "Dining Hall".


#2012-19  The "Dining Hall" we all know. The kitchen, fire place and the dish room.

Mid summer update.

Hope everyone is having a great summer.  Thank you to all who have sent me material for the website. It is sitting in my "to do" tray and I will get to it soon.

Northern Wisconsin has been in the heat belt this summer.

The days have been HOT and sunny. Both remind me of some of the summer days at camp. Remember the rest periods in mid-day? Time in your bunk was not always refreshing.

My wife is presently vacationing on the east coast and yesterday she went to Camp Clark. She called me from the flag pole and asked what photos I would like her to take. She was given a guided tour by one of the camp administrators. So let's all look forward to some new 2012 views of the camp compliments of my wife and her dad.
