Back to Camp at Governor Nelson State Park

Description

Camp Indianola closed in 1967 and was incorporated into Governor Nelson State Park. Thousands of boys spent their summers “at camp" swimming, sailing, horseback riding, playing tennis, baseball, soccer or football and learning about the outdoors and each other.

Lake Mendota historian Don Sanford will take us “Back to Camp" with film shot between 1932 and 1962 to show us a glimpse of life at camp then and see those same places as they are today.

Plan: Meet at the Town of Westport Kennedy Administration Building, 5387 Mary Lake Rd., Waunakee, WI 53597. This event is free to attend.

Prepare: This program will be indoors in a heated conference room and is wheelchair accessible.

Pack: If you are were a camper, feel free to bring memories and mementos from your days at GNSP Camps!
