They said it couldn't be done. They said no one would come. They said there isn't enough interest in another reunion in Waupaca. Well, whomever "they" are were WRONG! Prior to the reunion, Steven Goldberg shared his excitement at the upcoming event. CLICK HERE to read his pre-reunion memories.
One of the time-honored traditions of Camp Waupaca, especially in the Trail's End yearbook, was to write a time capsule after each season. In a few short paragraphs, the essence of the season gone by is recaptured in summary fashion. We continue this tradition with each reunion. CLICK HERE to view the time capsule for the 2006 reunion.
