The WLC Centennial Celebration went off without a hitch on Labor Day Weekend 2013. Over 350 guests and staff (including 58 children under 14) gathered on the Knoll for the three-day reunion that showcased the Centennial Lodge, the refurbished Barn, and a full program of activities. The weather alternated between delightful and downpours, but the rain did not dampen the spirits.
Patrick Rae and his kitchen crew served up delicious meals, and Louis Doig ran an excellent program, ably assisted by Tom Oxtoby and a crew of phenomenal current and former staff members. The alumni rifle match with FDL was close, but it ended with a victory for WLC. Charlie Cleary was awarded the Owen M. Carle Award for his service to Camp, and Neil Hulbert announced the impressive numbers for the Centennial Capital Campaign. From the busy waterfront to the exciting live auction, a good time was had by all.
Thank you to everyone for attending and for pitching in to make the event a success. If you have photos from the weekend, please send them to the Camp office. Special thanks to Director Nat Crane and Centennial Celebration Committee members Pam Helleren, Deb Clauson, Geoff McIntosh, Beezie Handy, Pat Rae, Martha Erickson, Louis Doig, Anne Bullitt, and Lucy Hancock. If you enjoyed the Centennial, then be sure to book your calendar for Alumni Weekend on August 21-24, 2014!
