CAMP PAIVIKA 60th ANNIVERSARY
CELEBRATION
August 11, 2007
It was Camp Paivika's 60th birthday party, and family fun was the order of
the day. The teenage session of campers played hosts with their counselors and
program staff to an invasion of happy flatlanders. All manner of Paivika Buddies
were on hand - campers, staff, parents, friends, and even one elected official - enjoying
the sunshine on a beautiful day in Crestline. Thanks to everyone who took pictures
and sent these for us to share.
It was a day for renewing old acquaintances... |
|
...and for eating lots of good camp chow. If the hamburgers weren't enough, a lavish
spread was laid out at the building dedication. |
|
There were tours, speeches, games and serenades by the campers. |
|
New Cabin 5 was completed just in time, and the lodge was dedicated to Joan Mier, in honor
of her many contributions to the Ability First camping program. The newly remodeled
health care center was named the "Marilyn Graves Health Center". |
|
A colorful new emblem of Paivika was donated by a group of Willow Grove quilters,
commemorating the camp's history. |
