June 21, 2016 - Hama Hama Legacy



Most schools in Washington are either out, or soon will be out.  That means that camps and lodges, such as this one at at Camp Robbinswold on Hood Canal, will soon be full of kids enjoying time at camp.  Camp Robbinswold is owned and operated by the Girl Scouts of Western Washington.  It is located outside of a spot on a map called "Lilliwaup".  The Girl Scouts claim they have been "doubling the population of Lilliwaup since 1928" with their annual influx of camp staff and campers.

The waterfront property of Camp Robbinswold is prime real estate.  Most of this land was donated to the organization by the Hama Hama Logging Company in the 1920s.  Their generosity has allowed thousands and thousands of Girl Scouts to enjoy camp at an extremely unique setting.  Canoeing, sea kayaking and sailing   The lodge itself was built by the Clise Family in 1939.
