And, while we're at it, does anyone know the whereabouts of Mike Sellwood, Kathy Goria or Ron Fernandez, to name just a few of our friends who are absent from this website?  And how about some more sign-ups of campers and counselors from 2006-2008?  Help us spread the word about paivika.com. Photo credit: Norma Root Miller Welcome All Camp Paivika Alumni! Welcome to Paivika.com, the unofficial web site for Camp Paivika campers, counselors and staff - both past and present.  Camp Paivika has been around for more than 50 years and by our calculation, there must be more than 2,000 Paivika Buddies by now.  Some of us have been at camp very recently, while others have been away longer than we like to remember.  But, Paivikans are a special kind of folk, and we made a lot of good friends at camp.  Many of us would like to stay in touch! Paivika.com is absolutely free, and we hope that you'll Sign Up to be listed on our Camp Roster.  You can post your e-mail address if you wish, and also add a favorite camp story to our Memories page.  Your Memories are great fun for everyone, so try to think of a funny story about camp, a touching moment, or some bit of trivia to share with the rest of us. We hope you like the pictures of camp we've scattered throughout the site.  But we need more!  After you sign up, you will also receive a friendly request from the PaivikaBuddies Webmaster to submit pictures to our Scrapbook.  We like old pictures, new pictures, before-and-after, funny, serious, color, black-and-white.  You send it in, and we'll post it. We've started a Camp History and a Paivika Trivia Quiz, but your input is needed to improve them both.  Please send in your recollections of the camp's history, and trivia items for the quiz.  Just fire off an e-mail and we'll do the rest.  This site is constantly evolving because of participants just like you. Finally, while you browse this site, take a look at the Camp Director's Message.  AbilityFirst (previously "CCS") does not sponsor or maintain this web site.  Paivika.com provides the camp director's page and the link to AbilityFirst's web site as a service to the folks who have kept the camp in operation for more than 50 years. Please help Paivika.com grow.  If you know of campers, counselors or staff members who have not heard about Paivika.com, please tell them to drop in.  Paivika.com is YOUR camp gathering place.  And with your help and involvement it will continue to be a fun place for Paivika Buddies to hang out and renew old friendships. Paivika.com is absolutely free. We don't send spam, we don't sell your name or e-mail address to anyone, and we don't solicit donations. Please read our Privacy Policy and Terms of Use.
