In December we brought you some very big news: after leading the Camp community for the past 25 years, Lowell Fitch has retired. We will all miss his calm and gentle strength, his mentorship, the guidance and trust he’s given to campers and staff, and his sense of humor and playfulness.
And now we are very pleased to announce: Camp Unalayee has a new Director. Actually, two new Co-Directors – Yve Susskind and Sarah Camp, both long-time members of the Unalayee family. They were just hired at the January Board meeting and have already enthusiastically jumped into the job.
Mona McDowell, President of theUnalayee Board of Directors, says “it has been my honor to work with Lowell Fitch over many years as well as growing up with him as a camper. Lowell’s contribution to our community, as well as the place he holds in our hearts will never be forgotten. During this time of historical transition within the CampUnalayee community, I am very excited to be able to support the dual directorship of Sarah and Yve to carry out our dreams for camp and to bring new ideas and growth to a place we all call home.”
Sarah and Yve will both be at Camp all summer, working (and playing) with the staff to continue to provide the safest, highest quality, most fun and supportive summer wilderness experience for kids and families. Learn more about each of our new directors on their website profiles.
If you have questions about volunteering or working this summer please contact Sarah and Yve at Director@gocampu.com. They also would love to hear your ideas and dreams for our beloved CampU.
Here is to a fantastic 2013 at Camp Unalayee! May we continue the legacy that Lowell set forth for us over the last 25 amazing years!

Back by Popular Demand: Walkabout
In 2012 we didn’t offer our popular extended walkabout program – and we missed it dearly! So it’s back in 2013!
Walkabout is the ultimate backpacking adventure: 31 days at Unalayee, with no more than five days at base camp. Walkabout campers will immerse themselves in the wilderness in a way that provides them with a unique opportunity for personal growth and reflection. We always say that a summer at Unalayee is one you will remember for a lifetime, but a walkabout summer is one that is sure to not only leave a lasting memory but also provide a whole new perspective on life.

Photo Contest
So, I know it didn’t LOOK like a lake, but I swear the photo from the November/December Newsletter was in fact a lake. It was Marshy!
Well, it’s still nice and cold up at camp, but let’s pretend like it’s not.
What’s this beautiful sunny lake?
