Question .... about that name, Camp Menotomy

Probably, naming this 95-acre, Lake Winnipesaukee summer Girl Scout camp with its name, Camp Menotomy, back on July 2 1935 was maybe not the best choice for a name.

Its name, Camp Menotomy, sounds way too much like Camp Monotony, don't you think?

Running a successful eight week summer camp, now just seven weeks, is a very tough task and needs a very strong director/owner who is all fired up, all year 'round, to make it a happening and happy camp.

If the camp had a better name, something like Camp Marvelous coupled with a strong director/owner who lived and breathed the operation of the camp, all year around, it would still be a going camp, today!
