As most of you know, our beloved Camp grounds are now the Yonahlossee Resort & Club. On their website,
they have graciously provided a history of our Camp, so I am reciprocating with this link to them.
Also, I wrote stories of my memories of my ten years at CY for their Homeowners' newsletter, reprinted here.

Take a walk down Memory Trail, with pictures from the past.
Here are contemporary photos of some legends, beautiful scenery, and celebrating "Sisters".

Do you feel like singing? This song page, including blessings, might bring back a few memories.....

If you went rappelling with Marty in the late 70's, this page is for you!

Questions about where to send your daughter or granddaughter to Camp?

Remember Frank, our beloved Camp caretaker, Luxury Tour driver, and fix-it man? (His picture is on the Jete page.)
Well, here are wonderful letters from his grandchildren, who would love to hear from those of you who knew him.

At the very bottom of this page is a link to a new guest book which I hope you will sign.

Here's the look of our beloved old waterfall, June, '98. Nearby is our beautiful CY mosaic bench.

UPDATE: Tori Clement Garrett and Vicky Stedman Clement were at CY the end of March. The LAKE IS GONE! The dam apparently broke
and the Camp plaque is missing. We hope the homeowners will fight to have the lake restored and hold onto the weaving shack, too.

YONAHLOSSEE SUMMERS

"Did you come around that corner with tears in your eyes? Eager to fly from the car and renew old ties?

Did you know every crevice of every path, and believe that those summer would always last?

When the supper bell rang, and you heard the call, did you tarry just long enough to play tether ball?

And the sacred secrets we kept as a tribe of sisters who grew up side by side.

Like those films that are slow and in black and white, I can see those pictures when I close my eyes.

We spit watermelon seeds and assemblied together. We took "bear hunts" and lost Ollie forever.

We grew up in the places that God lives in, in creeks and on mountains, amidst flowers and friends.

Would you be who you are if you hadn't those days? We were rich "little ladies" in so many ways.

So hold tight to those memories, they're never far gone. And that way we'll know, Yonahlossee lives on."
