Susquehanna Council

Camp Karoondinha is the summer camp of the Susquehanna Council.

I thought it would be a good idea to check out the council website. You can too, by clicking the graphic above. I found the site to be mediocre. I don't have real high standards, but I thought the site had a weak navigation, needed to be updated in many areas (Camp particularly, but other areas seem to be stagnate), and was lacking an up-to-date news letter. On the positive side, the council web site did have a current and updateable calender of events and some on-line training resources.

The area I found most interesting was the Order of the Arrow section of the site. It had several pages of informative and historical information. A history of both Camp Karoondinha and Camp Kline are posted. There is information on past Lodge Chiefs, Tiadaghton Lodge, and FAQ's about the Order of the Arrow. If for no other reason, check out this part of the council web site.

Sadly, the histories presented about both camps addresses the physical histories of the camps. When was the camp founded, who donated how much money to build which buildings, etc. are detailed in the histories. This has further encouraged me to work on this blog, for it is not the buildings that make our experiences at camp memorable; it is the Camp Staff.
