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. The Lakes Region may take
just pride in the distinction that the first organized summer
camp for young people was established here on the shore
of its lakes. The following is a list of summer camps by
