90 years ago this last winter (2005) Camp Wood was created thanks to a gift of 40 acres from Stephen and Caroline Wood.  90 years ago this summer was the first camping season.  Camp Wood YMCA will host a celebration open house on May 6 from 1 pm to 5 pm.  The Camp looks different from the last time you were there.  The horse pavilion was finished a couple years ago, the new nurse's cabin was dedicated last fall, and the foundations are being laid for the new cabins to be built before this summer's camp session.  A new sewer line is currently also being laid.  I'm attaching a couple articles I found in my Dad's collection that might be of interest to you.  -Margie
