Karen Conway – Growing up at Camp Sequoyah

Jim Bramlett interviewed Karen in 2016. She spoke about the early history of camp, her life growing up at a boys camp, and of some of the people who had a big impact on her life. (Click on Karen’s picture to visit Jim’s website and watch the videos.)

Camp Sequoyah Oral History Project

At the 2023 reunion, we asked for volunteers to share memories from their camp days, to talk about people who influenced them most while at camp, and to reflect on the impact camp had on their adult lives. Their stories are captured in the videos below. Click on the thumbnails or the names to hear what they have to say about Camp Sequoyah.
