Featured Article: Sparkplug The story of Sparkplug the pig as told by Nat Weeks. “…Once a week, I’d wash the pig. Sitting in the meadow, one hand would press on his back as he straddled my thighs so the other could dip into the soapy bucket to scrub him pink as the clover around us.

Owl's Perch is the newest cabin in Upper Camp, Eagle's Nest is the oldest cabin, and Uncle Tom's Cabin no longer exists but was in the location of Pete's Palace and is almost completely forgotten about. A checker board was carved into the very large stump downhill of Owl's in 2000 by Thomas Joyce; the tree that stood there can be seen in old photos of Upper Camp.
