Asto Wamah's November Update

To our valued followers:

We trust that you enjoyed the Halloween fun and treats, and are looking forward to the approach of the holiday season!

Now that November is here, there is a remarkable difference in how Asto Wamah looks. Some trees are already bare and the ground is covered with fall-colored leaves. The paths are buried and quiet fills the air. From Cabin 3 on the hill, you can easily see the lake and from Cabins 7 and 8, Hungerford is clearly visible.  Without the leaves, camp is taking on a very different, “empty” look.  

At this time of year, we send a postcard to all families announcing the dates for the 2020 season. The sequence of sessions will remain the same as in 2019.  Here is the official schedule for our upcoming season:

Coed: June 28 to July 4

Boys: July 5 to July 18

1st Girls: July 19 to August 1

2nd Girls: August 2 to August 15

Online registration will open on Saturday, February 1st, 2020.  We hope a session (or two) at Asto Wamah will be a part of your summer plans!

Remember to spread the word about camp to your friends! If they would like more information, please direct them to www.campastowamah.org.

May November remind you of the many things for which you are grateful.   We are grateful for you and your family’s involvement at CAW!  THANK YOU!  

Happy Thanksgiving!

Asto Wamah's October Update

October 2019 Blog

Dear Friends of Asto Wamah,

Now that October has arrived, the ground at Asto Wamah is covered with a blanket of brightly colored leaves.  It is still early and most of the leaves are still hanging tough, but there is no question that fall has arrived!

Even though we are 9 months away from the beginning of the next camp season, there is much activity going on in the area of maintenance/improvements.  The Huts near the field have been stained and look great.  Repair work is going on at the storage building to re-route water and repair old siding.  Painting at the Lodge has begun and will continue until it becomes too cold.  The sand box no longer has ant communities, but instead is ready to provide a much-needed resource when the Camp Road becomes icy.  Clearly, camp is still an active place—busy but quiet!

Since the end of the 2019 season, we have received inquires from a number of people who are interested in touring the facility in advance of registration starting on February 1, 2020.  As a result, we will have a Fall Open Camp Day on Saturday, October 12th from 2:00 to 4:00 pm.  Some counselors and campers will be giving tours and helping to answer questions for prospective campers and their families.  Everyone is welcome to attend, learn more about Asto Wamah, and meet the directors.  Fall-like goodies will be provided!  Rain or shine. Please spread the word to anyone who may be interested or is thinking about attending Asto Wamah next summer. Please RSVP using this link: Fall Open Camp Day

 We trust that you are well and happily engaged in school, teams, and healthy activities.  Hopefully your experience at CAW helps you to “Remember the Other Fellow” in everything you do!

 Take care,

Catherine, Jen, Chris and Nancy

P.S. We’d love to see you at camp on Saturday, 10/12 for our Fall Open Camp Day! Also, the 2019 pictures have been added to the camp website!
