There is a sign carved in wood outside the Lodge at Four Winds*Westward Ho that reads, “This camp is built to music, therefore built forever.” It could just as easily say that “this camp is built to poetry, or adventure, or for the child who discovers that the world is full of infinite possibilities, therefore built forever.”
Three generations of campers at this camp hidden away on Orcas Island in Washington state have wondered why the songs, the poetry, the adventure and the friendships they made have stayed with them all of their lives. Perhaps they will never know. But what they do know, and what we know, is that this camp is a rare and wonderful place that we must preserve and treasure for future generations.
