Once upon a time, in the enchanting land of Vermont, nestled within lush green mountains and serene lakes, lived a bunch of sprightly young adventurers. They were known as the "Wacky Water Weasels," a name inspired by their slick skills in boating and canoeing. Vermont, the land of maple syrup, had a magical charm that made even the trees sway with joy. The state was covered in a beautiful blanket of emerald during summer, and the lakes sparkled under the sun like a thousand diamonds. The air was always filled with laughter, splashes, and the soft whispers of the wind. The Wacky Water Weasels, a group of kids as diverse as the colors in a Vermont fall, were known for their zany adventures. They were the happiest when they donned their life jackets, ready to paddle their way through the magical waters. They jumped into their boats and canoes, paddling like eager beavers on an energy drink. It was a sight to behold! Their leader, a funny little chap named Squirtle McPaddleface, was an expert in making everyone giggle with his hilarious pirate imitations. Squirtle McPaddleface was a real character with his oversized captain’s hat and his trusty rubber duck, Quackers, who always rode shotgun. His motto was, "A day spent without a splash is a day wasted." He would steer his boat with the finesse of a seasoned sailor, often spinning tales of legendary water dragons and secret treasure islands. Life in Vermont was never dull with the Wacky Water Weasels around. They turned every boating and canoeing trip into an epic adventure, filling the state’s lakes with their laughter, camaraderie, and countless stories of fun and friendship.

The camp is divided into four “wigwams” (i.e. age groups): Annwi for 8-10-year-olds, Waramaug for 10-12-year-olds, Wiantinaug for 12-14-year-olds and Moosalamoo for 14-16 year olds. Each wigwam has its own living area and waterfront as shown on the illustrated map. Activities and trips are done primarily by wigwam, but the camp also comes together to eat and participate in activities and events. Established in 1910, Keewaydin Dunmore is one of the most established camps in the country and has long been at the forefront of the American camping movement.
