White Pines Summer Camp

Being a member of the Alumnae/i Association comes with its perks! Between 1950 and 1960, alumni were eligible to rent a summer camp on Long Lake, Maine. Dr. Sara Ware, WMC 1890, gave ownership to the Alumnae Association to use at their discretion. For a decade, alumni were able to rent the entirety of White Pines Camp for $200 per month, $60 per week, or $3 per night per individual.
