  • Senior NEWSLETTER July 22, 2018
    senior NEWSLETTER July 22, 2018 Greetings from Senior Winona! This week’s newsletter creation started on change-over day. It’s mid-season night and we have just called “lights out!” after a flawless Second session Opening Day. 31 Senior boys have joined our 42 Full Season campers. They spent the afternoon settling in to camp life in the Senior Grove. As promised I’ll begin this week’s edition playing catch-up. The Senior Allagash canoe trip crew of Kristian Baker, Ari Dennis, Will Jurek, Alex Learned, Elliot McDean, Kevin McDonald, Ben Stevens, Lucas Sudduth, Zimu Zhang and Uncles Bruce, Ingi and Nick left camp at 5:30 am Saturday morning last week for the long ride to Chamberlain Lake, the start of the Allagash Wilderness Waterway. The weather was as perfect as could be, with only a half hour of rain during the entire eight-day adventure. The wind, however, affected their progress a bit the first few days on the big lakes but that did not diminish their enthusiasm. After the first night’s stay at the Gravel Beach campsite (with a Greek shrimp & feta feast) and the next night at the Pump Handle site (with a steak and Dutch oven potato dinner) the trippers awoke to a beautiful sunrise and morning paddle to Chase Rapids. Here they took on a section of river with class 2 rapids. Everyone got through the whitewater with smiles. After a night’s rest at Chisholm Brook they took on the longest day with 30 miles of paddling on two lakes and another section of the Allagash River ending at Round Pond.
