Parnell From the Air!

Our “Aerial Boxwell” series continues into part four this week with a look at Camp Parnell.  We continue our lesiurely flight along the “coast” of the reservation, looking at the different camps from an aerial perspective.

The first photo approaches Parnell from the Stahlman side. In the lower right corner is the Athletic field (or the first Assembly area depending on when you worked!).  As you move across the bottom, you can see Showerhouse One and the Dining Hall.  At the top of the photo is COPE tower.

The second photo gives a better view of the Parnell Dining Hall.  The long standing legend from the 1980s is the story of “See Rock City” painted on the dining hall roof. Sadly, you can tell from this photo that 30 years is long enough for even the best paint to fade!

The third photo is a nice view of Parnell Bay.  In the foreground is Explorer Island and Explorer Island Bridge (now officially known as the Johnny Garrott Bridge). To the right of Parnell Bay is the Parnell Waterfront.  To the left is the Camp Light waterfront.  Showerhouse Two and the Parnell Dining hall are clearly visible in the woods to the right.

Next up… Camp Craig!

Camp Parnell Dining Hall from the air. Showerhouse Two is visible below the dining hall. Sadly, “See Rock City” is no longer visible.

Our “Aerial Boxwell” series continues this week with a look at Camp Stahlman from the air.  Following last week’s pattern, we are moving along the “coast” of the reservation, looking at the different camps from an aerial perspective.

The first photo is of the Stahlman Waterfront, with Cubworld and the Boat Harbor in the background.  This photo gives a nice perspective of how the three program areas are lined up in relation to one another.  Stahlman’s waterfront is up front, followed by the Boat Harbor back to the right, and finally CubWorld in the background.

The second photo gives a better view of the Stahlman waterfront.  From here you can clearly see the docks as well as Showerhouse Two.  If you look VERY closely, you also see Showerhouse Three in the upper right hand corner.

The third photo is a nice overhead of the middle of Camp Stahlman.  To the left is Stahlman Dining Hall.  The Cooks’ Cabins are in the middle and the OA Lodge is to the right.  The road in the middle of the screen is the fireroad leading into Camp Parnell.  Obviously, it is Explorer Island in the upper left.

Next up… Camp Parnell!
