Great site! I was a camper from '65-'75 and a CIT in '76. My dad is Erik Lessing.  We still go up every summer, spending time with the Kolar's and enjoying the lake.

I was a camper from 1944 to 1952 along with my twin brother, Peter. My mother was Ed Kolar's twin and I now own the property just north of Winape and go there every summer. Naturally I see a lot of Ron and Nancy, the Kolar's kids. Great remembrances and a wonderful website.

Just saw the message from Tom Hanley.  We bunked together in 1956 in tent #1 Lookout.  I wonder if he remembers riding the horses into Island Pond to be shod?  We caused a few tears in camp when one of the younger campers heard about the horses being shod.  He heard "shot," and was inconsolable!  Thanks again for the wonderful site.--Bill

What a nostalgic trip it was to read articles I'd written for the Wail 55 years ago!!  A real trip down memory lane.  Thanks for posting this site.  I'll recommend it to brother Jonnie.

Thanks for putting this together....great memories.  I was a camper at Winape for the 1961 - 63 seasons.  My Dad (Robert John Gilfert) was a counselor there in the early 1940s.  I still have my copy of my Winape Wail from 1962....is there someone who might be interested in getting a copy of it?  Thanks again for the memories!  Roger Gilfert

Hi Ed-

I was a Winape camper along with my two brothers Jim and David from 1955 to 1961. My father was one of the head counselors you may remember "Big John" Berwick. Great to see all the old photos. . .

had not thought about Winape for years, and decided to google it.  When did it close?  What was the reason for its demise?  Is is all condos now??

Went in 1962, 1963, and 1964
