Post format

If you'd like to post a story, please send it to me at camphilaka at gmail dot com in the following format:

1. Your name (camp and real/maiden). I will only post your camp name or your first name and last initial.


2. The year when the story/memory was created.


3. Your favorite camp song, if you remember it


4. What you want to share

In addition to memories, you might also consider sending notes about how Camp Hilaka has made you a better person, how it has led to the job/position you are in now, or a quick "shout-out" to other people you met at camp that you're not in touch with now. We're hoping that this will jog others' memories and encourage more sharing.

Sincerely,
Moose ('94-95) and Yakko ('95, '97-'98)

Welcome to Camp Hilaka on the Web!

After talking to several camp friends I'm still in touch with, I thought it would be cathartic and entertaining to create an area where people could share their stories about Camp Hilaka, a now defunct resident camp in the Lake Erie Council. Since Hilaka no longer holds resident camps, and many of the staff and long-time campers have moved out of the area, there's no chance we can ever come back to visit in the same way. Please feel free to email me stories at CampHilaka at gmail dot com to start the stories flowing.
