Although I did a decent job of remembering my last week as a camper at Woodland Altars in 1990, I had only a pathetic display of photos from the trip. It was obvious that I didn’t place much importance on photos like I do today. Fortunately when I met up with my friend and fellow camper Lee McAdams, I found that he had quite an impressive array of photos from this week at camp that he was willing to share with me. So enjoy these various poses of our group and some of me in various stages of mugging and tongue-wagging. And as you can see, I wasn’t kidding about wearing sunglasses 24/7.
Counselor Kevin, Joel, and me inside the hogan
Chris and John…and possibly my foot on the hogan floor. I never used a cot. Too cool.
Chris with his dip bag Ben
Obviously nighttime around the fire…no glasses
Mom would have been proud
Lee, challenged in the 90’s…and beyond
…and if you didn’t get enough in the last photo!
Lee and I are overcome by the fellowship of Youth Camp
John, Ben, and me on a hayride or something
Okay, now I’m just being silly
Judy Yoder, Cammie Hull, Joel Gish, John Moyer (crouching), Chris Runck, Cherie Hennie, Lee McAdams, Angee Miller, Kevin Dull (in back), Ben Krauss, Jolie Weaver, Tammi Smith, and me in my final minutes as a Woodland Altars camper

Return to Woodland Altars 1990…
Why is Ben not wearing pants in the picture with Chris? Denise and I always managed to keep our pants on at Youth Camp (right Denise???).

I know that MY pants were always on while at Youth Camp (except for swimming time or other necessary “pants off” times). I can’t speak of what the boys did in and around their hogans.
Perhaps Ben was wearing VERY short shorts in that picture. It kind of looks that way in the hayride photo as well; there are no pants visible there either.
