Happy Birthday Camp Ton-A-Wandah!
As you HOPEFULLY already know, this year is Camp Ton-A-Wandah’s 75th birthday…and what would a birthday be without a little party?
So, please join the Camp Ton-A-Wandah family on October 2nd, 2008 for the celebration of camp’s 75th anniversary. Hors d’oeuvres will be served at 5:00 in the Camp Museum followed by dinner in the Dining Hall at 6:00. If you would like to revisit your days as a camper, arrive early and participate in several traditional camp activities from 2:00-3:30. RSVP to Margaret Farish at email hidden; JavaScript is required or 803-466-4480. We hope you can make it out!
If you didn’t receive an invitation in the mail but you ARE a former camper or counselor (former camper meaning those who past camper age, i.e. out of high school), make sure you are in our alumni database by sending an email to me at email hidden; JavaScript is required .

Ton-A-Wandah was life changing for me and by far the most fun I had as a girl the three summers I was there in the 1960′s. I just turned 60 last week and my memories of all the friends I made there and everthing we did are now made more vivid by this wonderful website. Chief of Cherokees I was; and my two best friends were the Chiefs of the Navajos and Mohawks. Getting my WSI allowed me to teach swimming for the Red Cross in my home town of Aiken, SC when I was in high school and college. Goofus and Doodle, Boots Bandy and Doris Addy and my counsellor Areta Gates all contributed to the successfull woman I am today practicing law in Virginia. I would trade nothing for the sheer joy I experienced every minute of camp ending each night with the playing of the Lords Prayer. I would love to know if it is possible to find out how to contact or at least know something about many of the women I knew there. Please add me to your alumni database. Had I known about the 75th anniverary, I would have been there. Is there any way I could come for a visit just to see what has changed and what hasn’t.
