Details
Wyonegonic was founded by CE Cobb in 1902. He
was an educator and had operated a camp for boys.
He decided women should have the same opportunity
to experience the outdoors. In 1908, CE Cobb started
Winona, a boys camp on the same lake. Today the
brother/sister camps are managed under separate
ownership. CE Cobb had twin sons and Roland was
the second generation of Cobbs to run Wyonegonic;
and twin Phil, Winona. George and Carol Sudduth
purchased Wyonegonic from the Cobbs in 1969. The
philosophy and traditional program remained but
much more emphasis was placed on tripping. A challenge
and adventure course was also added. George Sudduth
died in 1991, and the camps have continued under
the directorship of his wife Carol and her oldest
son Steven. In 2001, Wyonegonic was the first
girls camp in the United States to celebrate her
100th season.
