Title
North Country Camps - summer camp fun for boys and girls
Description
Our purpose is to offer our campers and their counselors an extended opportunity to live together simply in safe, healthy, cheerful, and yet challenging outdoor surroundings. We believe in introducing children to a camp community where they have a say in what takes place; where life is dynamic and purposeful, yet unhurried; where they can develop skills at their own pace; where they can find their own style and self-worth without excessive competitive tension; where adventure is real, yet carefully supervised; where learning is the result of participation. We are eager to sharpen children's awareness of the wilderness environment, to work with them in finding sensible ways to preserve it.
Camp Lincoln was established in 1920, and Camp Whippoorwill in 1931, by Colba F. "Chief" Gucker. His son, Peter L. Gucker and his daughter, Janet G. Farrington, have directed Lincoln and Whippoorwill since the late 1950's, and now serve in consulting roles. Pete's daughter, Nancy Gucker Birdsall, has directed Whippoorwill since 1984. Lincoln is directed by former Associate Directors Bob Livingston and Steve (Frau) Frauenthal.
Nancy, Bob and Frau are joined by Associate Directors David Birdsall and Betsy Byrne. Susan Gucker Dion manages the camp food service and office. Peter H. Gucker oversees physical plant maintenance and development.
