We're contributing a wooden plaque that was presented to the Camp Nagiwa's first waterfront director, Leon Garstecki. Leon was instrumental in creating the kind of camp experience that convinced Nagiwa's first owners to sell it to the YMCA-YWCA of Guelph in the 1950s.
Up until then, Guelph Y boys were gypsies who were scattered across many camps each summer. Due to the efforts of YMCA leaders like Leon, they were able to put down roots and experience the joys of camping with lifelong friends.
This plaque is given in honour of those who made our Association what it is today.
