Photos: Summer Alumni & Friends Days

Thank you to everyone who joined us for our recent Summer Alumni & Friends Days—they were a resounding success! Dozens of alumni and neighbors gathered on July 16 and 17 for two “intersession” days, rare downtime between camp sessions. It was the perfect opportunity to reminisce and explore our serene 400-acre campus without any participants on-site. The special reception with Chewonki leaders was a highlight, fostering wonderful connections and conversations.

We are excited to share some photos capturing the beauty and camaraderie of these special days!

He Ignited a New Chewonki Era

Tim Ellis’ lifelong connection to Chewonki began in 1937. He arrived in a bassinet when his father, Harwood “Hardy” Ellis, Assistant Head at the Rivers School, was recruited by Chewonki founder Clarence Allen as head counselor. Tim spent every childhood summer at Chewonki, eventually becoming a counselor. After college, he ventured abroad and met his wife, Margaret Ellis, while teaching in Switzerland in the early 1960s.

Gordy Hall Kept the Fire Alight

For nearly 70 years, Chewonki has been fortunate to count Gordy Hall as a camp counselor, trip leader, trustee, and dear friend.

He was a remarkable person, “one of a kind,” and left an indelible mark on Chewonki. As Gordy frequently said, “Gratitude is a powerful motivator.” We are grateful for all Gordy did for Chewonki through more than seventy years of connection and caring.
