I went to Camp Belknap in the 1960's. I remember admiring the camp powerboat: Nymca? I know I really enjoyed the lake but I remember being very homesick.

From about 1970 on I spent every year boating on the lake and spent every free moment and vacation here. For many years, as I rode around in the boat, I always wondered how you could get to a point where you could own a home on the lake and was envious of those who could. It really seemed out of reach.

I finally got that chance in 2003 and it has been a great experience. Just two nights ago, sitting on the dock (possibly with an adult beverage in hand) I marveled at how lucky I was to have the opportunity to live on the lake and I am still very appreciative of every moment here. In truth, I still can't believe I am here.

About 5 years ago 8 family members were visiting (including my brother who went to Camp Belknap) and we took the boat over and tied up there. As we walked through the property and looked into the cabins a lot of memories came back.

The place still smells the same (in a good way!) and it looked as though not much had changed. In this case, it seems that change would not be a good thing. It was a great experience for both my brother and I.
