OF LAKE WINNIPESAUKEE



Camp Menotomy, Meredith, NH

Continued from page 6

From the very beginning, Geneva Point has emphasized the quality of family camping and has become a lasting pride of the center, thus alumni reunions are an annual affair that bond the center as a family camp for a total Christian community.

During the 1930s, there were as many as 72 established camps in the Lakes Region. This number has grown to include many specialized camps today.
