Summer camps in the Lakes region

I hope this is the appropriate place to bring up this topic.

Still today, and even more in the past, summer camps (boys or girls, and in some cases mixed) were very popular in this region. These camps ranged from private, independent businesses to agency camps, school camps, church camps, and other types of sponsorship.

My family owned and operated Camp Wyanoke for Boys in Winter Harbor between 1909 and 1975. During that time we associated with other camps in the area through sports, shared use of property for camping, and, in the case of girl's camps an occassional social evening.

Many of these camps are no longer operating, but quite a few are still active. So, the basic topic of discussion is whether or not you are in the lakes region now because you were in the lakes region then as a camper at one of these camps.

My personal guess is yes.
