Mitigwa Miscellany

Various items of interest from Camp Mitigwa
Rangeley, Maine

*  *  *

   

These images of our camp tee shirt and hooded sweatshirt were provided by Jennifer Hilton.
Jennifer's dad, Bob Hilton, was head counselor at Mitigwa my last year there (1956).
I was saddened to learn her brother Bob, also a camper, passed away in 2010 at age 64.
Jennifer wrote of these items:  "They must have belonged to my brother, but now they fit me!"

Here's a shot of Jennifer with her dad at camp in 1956.
