We are updating the Onas History Project to include the entire first century of Onas history!
If you have Onas photos or other memorabilia sitting in an attic, closet, basement, or hanging on your wall, now's a great time to send us a picture, scan, or recording so we can include your memories as we prepare to make the Camp Onas History Project available online.
We're interested in any additions that help tell the story of Camp Onas and our community over the last century!
Some examples of memorabilia we hope you’ll send our way:
Letters from camp
Awards given to campers or counselors
Graduate certificates
A&C (Arts & Crafts) Masterpieces
Photos from your time at Onas
Essays campers or staff have written about Onas
Some thoughts from you, today, reflecting on the Onas experience
Basically, any and all things Onas
Email your submissions to history.project@camponas.org
Have more pictures than you have time to scan? Call or email us! We'll arrange a way for Onas staff to scan them, and return your items to you (with a digital copy!)
