About the Project
My name is Theresa Beers Taylor and Camp Wapanacki played a huge role in my life for five years. It allowed me to realize blindness would not stop me from reaching my dreams. Wapanacki represented a safe place to try new things like canoeing on Lake Memphremagog. These trips were not only challenging, but lots of fun. Friendships were built and many memories shared. I remember one trip a bad thunder storm hit while we were on the lake and I was absolutely petrified. I tried my best to hide under the seat. I remember Joe Ingram telling us not to swamp, because we had the Oreos.
This story is only one of many I keep in my heart and we hope you also have several stories to tell. My husband Ken and I met at Wapanacki and now after 21 years of marriage; we started our own 501(c)3 nonprofit known as Seek the Son Ministries. The mission of our organization is to bring the saving power of Jesus Christ to the disabled. Our goal is to open a year-round retreat center accessible for the disabled.
As part of a campaign to help others understand the need for places like Camp Wapanacki we decided to produce a tribute book full of stories, history and pictures of Wapanacki which was the first camp in the United States to open for the visually impaired. As we get close to publication; we will make this book available in several formats to help meet the needs of all. Proceeds from this endeavor will go straight to Seek the Son Ministries Inc.
Ken and I both realize the importance of Wapanacki in our lives and in our formation of this nonprofit. We would love and need your help in sharing stories, history and pictures of Wapanacki. Listed below are three ways to submit information. Please pass this on to any other fellow Wapanackians.
