Chingachgook's New Sister Camp

Starting with the summer of 2010, Chingachgook will be helping reopen the doors to YMCA Wa Wa Segowea located in the fabulous Berkshires of Massachusetts. Wa Wa Segowea's story is really quite sad. Back in 2005, after the summer ended, the doors to the Camp were closed and were thought to be closed for good. After some hard work by George Painter and the YMCA, we're extremely hopeful to help open this Camp for the summer of 2010! You might remember some Wa Wa Segowea board members visited Camp this summer and were serenaded by the entire Camp with chants of "Wa-Wa!". In the picture above you see the key staff who are helping make this possible. Starting from the left, you see Toby (Camp Director), Norm (property director), and of course George Painter (Executive Director).
