Aloha Camp girls ready to explore Vermont trails from the beloved Woodchuck Hole.

For generations of Aloha Camp girls, the Woodchuck Hole is the center of camp life. Centrally located on the hillside, it is possible that nearly every Aloha camper has set off, at least once, on a wonderful outdoor adventure from this hub of activity.

Whether departing for a week-long pack trip in New Hampshire’s White Mountains, or a day trip to Camel’s Hump in Vermont’s Green Mountains, many memories began with the boisterous departure from the Woodchuck Hole.

In the era when this photo was taken, girls enjoyed the breezy ride to the trailhead on a lumpy mattress, singing at top volume to be heard. Today’s Aloha maidens buckle up in camp vans for safe passage, but the foray ahead will be just as sweet.

Vermont Lanakila Camp for Boys Hiking Preparation
1958 Lanakila Vikings are geared up and ready to hit the road.

These four Lanakila campers look ready to head out of camp, perhaps on a cabin overnight with their well-prepared counselor.  Given the size and weight of the water containers, they probably weren’t going too far from camp! Whatever their destination, they were certain to have a wonderful adventure and put to use new skills taught in the Campcraft Department.

Aloha Hive Campers ride in grasshopper vehicle

Hivers pile into the beloved "Grasshopper" for an outing in 1955.

Each week we’ll post a great photo, either of a program in session, or perhaps a wonderful vintage Vermont summer camp image that shows that around Lakes Fairlee and Morey, the more things change, the more they stay the same! Let us know if you have a favorite place or activity you’d like to see turn up in a photo.
