Success at Camp Waweig - Again!

2008-10-27T15:32:00.000-07:00

Camp Waweig finished a very successful summer camp season in August. Throughout the many weeks of nature-based summer programs offered at the camp this year, over 120 youth were registered to participate. Support for the summer programs came from the Fundy Community Foundation, the Scoodic Fish & Game Association and the NB Wildlife Trust Fund. The Camp was also used by many different groups including individual families, fitness and hiking groups and there was also an international gathering of motorcyclists. The Camp continues to be quite busy into the fall as well. The Charlotte County Hunters' Education Instructors Association has been using the Camp as a base for their course offerings, the Sir James Dunn Academy from St Andrews brought their Leadership group to Waweig for an overnight visit, twenty-two of the United Christian Women's group used the camp for a meeting this fall and the Camp is still gearing up for a few more events with local scout and cadet groups before snowfall.

Most recently, Camp Waweig held their 2nd Annual Haunted Outdoor Halloween Trail. This past Friday night, youth from throughout the county came to the Camp to help organize and build this year's trail. There were a dozen youth who spent the night on Friday and worked hard all day Saturday to get the trail ready for the visitors arriving that night. Throughout the day many others arrived to help get ready for the event as well, including one of the Scout Venturers groups from St. Andrews and a group from the St Andrews Youth Centre.

In its second year, the Haunted Trail attracted four times as many people as it had the first, just under 200 people went through the trail. Although it was not quite dark as the first people arrived, they enjoyed the campfire, hot drinks, marshmallows and hot dogs made available to them. As darkness fell, the participants were led through the trail in groups and many went through the trail a second and even a third time. Kim Reeder who looks after the Camp, was delighted by the turnout, but even more excited about the number of people in the community that were visiting the Camp for the first time. Many folks who went through the trail reported that they thought it was great, many had excellent suggestions for next year and many volunteered to help with events in the future. Visitors were also interested in how to put on their own events at the Camp and were directed to call 467-9905 or check out Camp Waweig on the internet at www.campwaweig.com.
