March to 1,000

Did you know that we have a database of campers and staff that attended Camp Waupaca? As of now, we have about 500 names with valid contact information, meaning we can contact them either by phone, email, or postal mail (click on the link at the top of the page to see the list). We have also lost track of over 100 members who didn't keep their contact info updated. So the push is on to find - and confirm - one-thousand campers and staff! Dick Garb has been our most ardent champion in locating lost Camp Waupaca alumni, and he often sends out emails to them, but they fail to register on our site. Dick, don't give up hope! We know that everyone who reads this will update their contact info, and spread the word to other Camp Waupaca alumni to stay in touch.

Forever and forever, Waupaca!
