The Centennial for Camp Maqua, on the grounds of the Loon Lake property, was celebrated on June 25th with seventy-five ex-campers, counselors, current residents and even the last camp doctor. (William McCadie) This day was not only a celebration of a happy camp for the campers and staff, but also for the ten resident families who feel like it has been their happy camp since the early eighties’, when the property was developed into a private development. All of the Maqua women and one Camp Maquois male were part of the ongoing collection of history of this camp with their interviews and this was their reward–a trip back in time with tours of the property, peeks inside the existing buildings, boat tours of the lake, singing around the campfire after the barbecue and a huge sharing of memories and photos as they reunited with friends. The weather was perfect and many of the women felt they had returned to their childhood for a day with all the reminiscing-especially four laughing girls who slept overnight in the “Honor Cabin” after a long night at the campfire. (Totally spontaneous and unexpected!) The above photo features only half the campers who attended, as “someone” forgot to take a group shot!
