Saturday, April 29, 2023 – Centennial Hike: Camp Blue Bird
April 29, 2023
5 – 6 miles, with a steady, moderately strenuous, climb up and over Stockbridge Mountain. Elevation gain about 500 feet
In the Fall of 1924, the New York Chapter subleased Camp Blue Bird (on the east side of Upper Twin Lake) from a group that used the property as a girl’s camp in Summer. In May, the Chapter vacated Camp Blue Bird, but was back in October and remained until April of 1925. It was at Camp Blue Bird that the members developed the model of the Saturday night communal meal. As stated by Ira Ayres in his write-up for the 50th anniversary of the Chapter: “Our very successful system of community meals began on our second weekend in October 1924. Hike will start at the Silvermine parking area. Meeting time is 9:30AM. Hike is qualifying (5-6 miles). Participants should wear sturdy footwear and bring lunch, snacks, raingear, and water.
