Camp High Rocks -Pictures from the summer of 1979



 
 

This was the year the lake was drained while work was being done on the dam ...

...view from the dam...
... view toward Rich Mountain
 

But the drained lake gave us a place for the regatta, in the stream that ran across the bottom of the lake ...

...and the regatta has been a hit ever since (though, of course, we don't do it at the bottom of the lake anymore)..
 

The lake was beginning to refill by the end of boys' camp

More pictures of the drained lake and regatta
But most things at camp remained the same...
 

There were some fine sunsets this year
