  • SENIOR NEWSLETTER July 18, 2021
    SENIOR NEWSLETTER July 18, 2021 Greetings from Senior Winona! We certainly enjoyed a full week of events, trips and competitions. This summer, under the guidance of Aunt Luanne, Performing and Visual Arts have been offered as a new Senior activity. These skills were put in service last Sunday when Senior Winona hosted Sunday Vespers. Uncle Trip wrote a short play titled, The Wonch. The storyline highlighted Winona's philosophy on inclusion and friendship. The Wonch may have felt “wonchy” when he was friendless and lonely, but the Winona Senior campers welcomed him to join them in camp activities. The Wonch discovered he could make new friends and he found happiness at Winona. The Wonch was played by Mun Luak. Other actors included: Henry Hoffman, Renzo Martinez, Nuer Bol-Rik, Dash Lamphier, Ben Lemieux, Jack Wetter and Wesley Persons . Technical arts helpers included: Thomas Gasperini, Lyle Fuchs, Henry Hoffman, Lucas Sao Marcos, Marco Sierra, Jack Wetter, Ryan Hays, Xander Krauskopf and Matt MacDougall. On Monday, the Mountain Trippers and the Allagash adventurers (see more on the Allagash on page 2) departed for remote wilderness areas. The Mountain Bikers also saddled up and departed for North Conway, New Hampshire, where they explored a technical mountain bike trail network. Xander Krauskopf, Dash Lamphier, Matt MacDougall, Gunnar Lundin, Devan Sarkar, Owen Manning, Max Rosenbaum, Lorenzo Vannoni, Quinn Hoffman and Liam Kirby pedaled around Pudding Pond and explored an abandoned quarry. Later in the day, the boys found some jumps and learned how to safely navigate their air-time. The heat of the day was forgotten when they found a nice swimming spot on the Swift River.
