There are 30 Fern and Fern Ally species around camp (below). There are also 90 bird species that campers and staff have spotted.

The S4G campus keeps cars away from the cabins, so this happy cart is how all the trunks, sports equipment, and duffle bags make it to your door.

Pirates of the Caribbean Event

Captain Troye brandishing his cutlass (left) will serve to let everyone know what an awesome final camp mixer we had.

 

Aarrgh me hearties, this is how ya dress to go see Pirates of the Caribbean. Sneers, bandanas, and eye patches came off easily after the show - the facepaint took a bit more work. (below)

(Villanova Skating Rink, January 5th, 2003)

Above - Despite heavy snowfall - dozens of intrepid campers and counselors came together at the Villanova Skating Rink for our Winter Reunion. For many it was their first chance to meet Executive Director David Williams (kneeling front left). A great time was had by all.
