Skylake Alumni ... Welcome Back to Your Home!
Skylake Alumni span the decades, gathering staff and campers starting back as early as
1945 all the way up through to today! A culmination of the Howe and Portnoy Director eras,
we welcome everyone and look forward to hearing stories of Skylake Magic from over the years.
Skylake Alumni are a special group of people who all share an intense bond, a bond we all
know as Skylake Magic. Some of you may be in better touch than others, but it's our hope
to bring as many old Skylakers back together with our growing alumni group.
We'd love to hear from you and learn what has been going on your life since you were last
at camp. Please sign up for the alumni group so we can also keep you updated on the new
and fun happenings at camp.
Welcome Back! Please note that the Alumni Group is only for those Skylakers that are not
lucky enough to still be campers or counselors today. Thank you.
"... memories that bind us all, the gatherings in the fire lit nights, the view of Bass
Lake's glorious sites, the hikes to mountains, lakes, and streams, cooperation with the
teams, but most of all the friends we make..."
"Skylake was THE most important and influential aspect of my life growing up. I learned
how to play, how to love, how to share, how to fight, how to cry, how to give, how to be
passionate, how to lose, how to win. (I also learned how to water-ski, how to horseback
ride, how to canoe, how to siesta, how to clean my cabin, how to make a lanyard...This is
Skylake Magic."
