Welcome to December 2019,
We hope you all had a terrific Thanksgiving with the food, family, and friends you love. Now we are into December and we look forward to all the anticipation and excitement it brings. We trust you are ready for a busy and fun-filled month!
Right now it is very cold and snowing. Yesterday was somewhat warmer as I walked through camp. Peace and quiet was all around. At this point there are hardly any leaves on the trees and the lake has been drained off enough that you can easily walk from the main dock to Little Dipper (where the White Raft is secured) without fear of getting your feet wet. It is interesting to see that part of the lakebed with all the rocks (some enormous) that sit well under water all spring, summer, and fall. If all goes as usual, ice fishermen will soon dot the ice as they wait for fish to bite at their hooks.
The plan now is to begin re-decking the White Raft. The new lumber has been delivered. Now we just need weather that will allow our crew the opportunity to do the work without frostbite! I will attempt to keep you informed of the progress through pictures.
Presently, much effort is being directed toward preparing the camp’s registration website, Ultracamp, with all the 2020 information for new and returning families. Right now you can update your account (or if this is your first year, you can open an account). On February 1, 2020 at 7:00 AM registration will begin. We hope you are as excited as the staff about the upcoming season!! Hope you have been successful in “spreading the word” about Asto Wamah and you will be bringing school friends, neighbors, and relatives to camp this summer. Thank you for helping to keep the bunks at CAW full during the 111th season!
As you work your way through December and this season of sharing and goodwill, we hope you remember Asto Wamah’s motto and our focus on “Remembering the Other Fellow”. Whatever holiday you celebrate, don’t forget to spread peace, joy, and caring to all. That’s the Wamah Way!
We look forward to your time at CAW in 2020! Stay well!
Happy Holidays,
Nancy
