With the dining hall expansion underway, we are feeling a bit nostalgic.

Top picture is Harley Burgdorf, Property Superintendent from 1952-1966. Laying stone for what will become the dining hall fire place.

Pictured below is Bradley Geiger helping his father, Superintendent Ben Geiger who has been Massawepie Ranger from 2009- current. Working on spreading stone for more seating.

Keeping up with tradition... St. Lawrence University had their trail day at Massawepie.

They worked hard and spent the day improving the canoe carry trails from Long Pond to Horseshoe Pond in preparation for Massawepie Scout Camps 75th anniversary program, the return of "the Great CANOE Race!"

Ranger Ben is grateful to the St Lawrence Adirondack Semester for this annual collaboration, he looks forward to many more!
