Our hoped-for reunion has been postponed! Originally scheduled for the middle of September, it has been delayed until the end of June, 2022. Dates and all that are to be determined. Our gracious host, Jeff Hopkins ran into numerous conflicts, and then of course, there's the resurgence of SARS-cov-2. Camp Wyanoke Through Our Eyes The Bradford M. Bentley Years 1942 - 1975
Volume 2 of 2 in the History of Camp Wyanoke is now available!
This final volume is a
combination of exhaustive research and essays, memories and impressions
from numerous contributing Wyanokers. We assembled a host of photographs
from private albums and even single frames of 16 and 8mm film, some
familiar, others you've never seen. This is over 200 pages of Wyanoke
history, personnel and most importantly, memories.
The project took over two years to complete, longer than we expected, but I believe we've left no stone unturned to produce the definitive history of the place that means so much to us. We sent an email broadcast to Wyanoke alumni on February 11, 2021 which included an order form. If you didn't receive that, you can still order: Please send an email to wyanokehistory@gmail.com with ALL of the following information ___________Number of copies of Camp Wyanoke Through Our Eyes Vol 2 ($50.00) ___________Check here if you would like Volume 1 - What Was Wyanoke? (No charge now - we just need to see if we need another print run) ___________I will pick up my copy at Tom Falcon's house.
The cost of the book ($50.00) was higher than we expected, but then again we didn't expect it to be over twice the size of Volume I. Shipping (included) is a substantial portion of the total, and we are not expecting to profit from this project. We have two methods of payment: Paypal to Tom Falcon, and Check to Mike Freelend. Please specify which you choose, and we'll reply with instructions, rather than print addresses and emails here. Also, please pay when you order. We're covering printing and mailing costs our of pocket. I will acknowledge checks I receive via email. In Fond Memory Dan Mannis

go to the Council Room and hear BMB re-tell the beginning Dave Clemens' Slide Show Here are two versions of the same set of photos taken by Dave Clemes from 1958 through 1967. Photos so vivid of everyday life at Wyanoke in those days that when you immerse yourself in them, the years that have passed will vanish and you'll be there. The first is an edited slide show in which I animated many of the slides, zooming and panning to highlight the most important subjects of these priceless pieces of our history. Realizing that that kind of manipulation leaves elements of the full-frame photos, I've also included a slide show of the original photos intact and unmanipulated. In both videos, the music was recorded between 1967 and perhaps 1971, and features the voices of Pat and Mike Freeland, Dave Clemens, Peter Ellis (a camper at the time, high tenor)and Ray Hillyard. It's all that's left, but if you're tired of hearing it, feel free to mute it and enjoy these fast rides to the past. These are on YouTube: D. B. Clemens Animated Slide Show Thanks Dave!
