IT'S TIME FOR A CAMP CELEBRATION!
Behind the scenes, volunteers working on the 75th Anniversary Celebration are planning events, preparing calendars, and interviewing alumni. The CCW Anniversary Media & History committee is collecting quotes and recollections to share in a hard-back book. We’d like to share YOUR memories. Please take 5 minutes and complete our survey. We’re grateful to each of those alumni that have taken the time to share their camp experience with use.
Join us for the CCW 75th Anniversary Reunion!
