My grandfather and his brothers attended Wyanoke back in the 1920s. That was one of seminal events that led him to eventually obtain a property on the Lake. We still have some of his swimming medals. It was his Wyanoke experience that also led him to recommend us (his three grandsons) to attend Camp Belknap, which remains and thrives today. As a young Belknapper, I traveled to Wyanoke for many swimming and riflery competitions. It was a beautiful site. Unfortunately, too many of the old-school camps have been forced off the Lake due to chaning economic and social pressures. What a shame, because the camp experiences on the Lake remain some of the best times of my life. In fact, my son and I were just talking about his pending return to Belknap -- his sixth year there. Now I feel old. I'll try to find some Wyanoke information.
