Attended Camp1998-2005
Memories: The memories from my 8 summers at Camp Wa-klo all blur together. It might seem weird that I can't distinguish events in my life that happened when I was ten from ones that happened when I was fifteen, but Camp Wa-klo was always more of a feeling. You can never replicate the building excitement stirring within me as my family drove toward camp and the sprawling New England roads grew with familiarity until I could count how many turns were left until the front field. No where else in the world can you, at the end of camp, be torn between such a sense of satisfaction with one's accomplishments and a summer well spent, and a sense of desperation for even just one more day with friends. I have never known friends who can comfort me, as I comfort them, while we both cry because you never know which summer could be your last. All my love to the girls still returning and all those that shared eight summers with me, you have left a permanent mark on my heart, and I will always remember our little corner of the world.

Attended Camp 1955
Memories:My fondest memories are playing sports, the bonfire and attending the Cathedral in the Pines. I remember well passing the swimming requirements in order to swim out to the senior float that was co-ed. Yes, 1955 was the last year the camp (on the other side of the stream) had boys!!! The intermediate float was girls only, but the senior float was co-ed. What an incentive!!
Ethel Kloberg ran the girls camp and Mrs. Watkinson ran the boys camp. I remember Miss Wherley, Miss Casey & Miss White. I see lots of new buildings and added water sports now. I do plan on attending the Reunion in June 2007. See you then.

Attended Camp 1962-1968 for 7 summers
Memories : Camp provided a heaven away from New York City and from my mother. When I first arrived at camp, I hardly spoke English as I had emigrated from France just a few months prior to the start of camp. Miss Jensen and Miss Kloberg put me at ease. Though the first season was rough, I learned many social skills and sports. I continued to spend my summers at Wa-Klo until college. Over the years, I became more and more confident. Was a big chief, LTG and finally a counselor. Miss Kloberg and Miss Jensen provided me with clear guidance which I didn't get at home. The beauty of camp soothed me. I go there often in my mind when I meditate. I'm grateful to have been part of Wa-Klo. I plan on attending the reunion in June. Thank you Wa-Klo!

Attended Camp 1960-66
Camp has lifelong memories for me. My mother was a camper and counselor
and my father was a counselor in the 40s. I was first introduced to Camp
early summer 1958, when my family went up to Camp early to help "open
up." It involved cleaning the cabins, staying in Chatterbox, and I
remember painting the old Arts & Crafts building that had rough siding
that had been sawn out of "blow downs" from the '38 Hurricane. It was
very hard work for little kids! It's since been combined with the Fish
Bowl to make a bigger building and has nice, smooth siding, I noticed,
when I visited last summer.
Good friends, Liza Meyer, Louise Campana, Melanie Cooper and Melody
Goodwin, are the names I can remember now. I wonder where they are now?
My daughter, Sara Bolduc, attended Camp '86, so we have 3 generations of
memories. Of course, Jackie, my sister, was the star athelete and is
still outstanding, an engineer, finishing her home in Alaska.
I will be planning to attend the 70th Reunion in June.

Attended Camp1984-1990
Memories: Driving through the gates in late June, being greeted by Miss Fletcher & Miss Cocoman, and anticipating reuniting with your friends again! Playing guitar with Miss Chenet at Vespers. Fighting over hot, fresh sticky buns on Sundays. Sleeping as long as possible and arriving at the flag pole with seconds to spare; people used to laugh at my bed-head and honestly that hasn't changed! Being Big Chief with Rachel, Vicky & Karen. Trying to sing/act in the musical productions. And mainly, just trying to stay out of trouble (Oh the secrets I could tell!)! Vicky Palmer & I are planning to attend the reunion and are trying to get the old gang together so if you are reading this please contact me! (510.531.6422) Hope everyone is well!
