A Complete Summer: Parnell 1993
Instead of just a single photo, this week we’re going to give you a WHOLE BUNCH of photos. A gallery of over 100 photos in fact!
In 1993, Parnell Waterfront staff member Eric Cole took it upon himself to attempt to document an entire summer. He wanted to capture what a summer on staff was like from beginning to end. No staff member could hope to capture everything that happens, but Cole did a good job.
Thanks to the 2014 Archiving Project, Cole shared his photos. With the addition of a handful we already had in the archives, we are able to now present a brand new Special Exhibit: Camp Parnell in 1993.
Parnell has been closed now since the end of camp in 1998, so this is a great opportunity to look back almost 20 years at a camp that has basically been abandoned. Special thanks to Eric Cole for his photos!

Order of the Arrow Centennial
For those of you who didn’t know, 2015 is the centennial of the Order of the Arrow. It goes without saying that the OA has been an integral part of Boxwell’s history since it’s beginning. In addition to various service projects and using Ordeal weekends to help get camp set up, the OA has been responsible for Winter Camp that started in 2003.
This week, the celebration comes to Boxwell specifically. The OA has a “road show” called ArrowTour that is traveling to summer camps around the nation, showcasing the history of the OA. On Monday, ArrowTour will be at Boxwell. You can read more about the tour here: http://arrowtour.oa-bsa.org/ and here: http://www.wa-hi-nasa.org/.
To mark the celebration, we give you the oldest photo we have of the OA Lodge. We’re not entirely sure of the date, but our best guess is shortly after its original construction in 1967. Happy Centennial Order of the Arrow!

Chase Standifer has been very helpful in naming many of the people in his photos. However, there are still a few mysteries!
These three photos are from Stahlman, 2004. All are during the singing of Zoomba at a meal. However, there is no indication of who they are. Care to fill in the blanks?
