Birthdays
There are no birthdays to celebrate at Camp today, but did you know that Tawonga is celebrating our 94th birthday this year? Check out this link to learn more about Camp’s history. Also, stay tuned for information on our 95th anniversary gala next year!
Here’s what celebrating a birthday at Camp Tawonga looks like. (Hint: It’s pretty special.)
How’s the Weather? ☀️
Sunny with a high of 96, low of 63. Another beautiful day at camp!
During the hottest time of the day, campers relax in the shade of their cabins during Rest Hour. Additionally, counselors always make sure that campers stay hydrated, wear sunscreen and cool off in the pool or the beautiful Tuolomne river, which are all especially important during hot days like today. In case you missed it, check out this post on what a “typical day” at Camp Tawonga looks like.
Did You Know …
The New York Times recently featured Camp Tawonga for our innovative gender inclusion efforts! Tawonga is offering an all-gender cabin pilot this summer during Session IV for any campers who identify as non-binary. You can read more about the all-gender cabin here.
The Tawonga Tidbit brings you a daily dose of Camp with our kitchen menu, Camp birthdays and more. We hope this series brings you a bit closer to Tawonga!
