Blast from the Past: Deerwoode in the 50s!

Carol Cowan Kussmaul recently came back to visit Deerwoode with her children and grandchildren. Carol attended Camp Deerwoode from 1951-1956, which at that time was an all-girls camp. During those six years, Carol has special memories of the activities they participated in, especially the craft room, and many stories to share including the skits they performed, old camp cabins, visits to the infirmary, hiking up the mountain, diving into the swim lake (which she wasn’t a fan of), and reminisced about the uniforms the girls wore.
