      HONORING THE NORTH COUNTRY CAMPS ON THEIR 100TH ANNIVERSARY

                                 ______
                                 

                         HON. ELISE M. STEFANIK

                              of new york

                    in the house of representatives

                         Monday, March 25, 2019

  Ms. STEFANIK. Madam Speaker, I rise today to honor The North Country 
Camps on their 100th anniversary.
  Camp Lincoln for boys and Camp Whippoorwill for girls have provided 
children in the North Country an opportunity to spend their summers in 
a safe, healthy, and educational environment for generations. By 
engaging children in challenging programs such as sailing, canoeing, 
archery and wilderness excursions, North Country Camps helps children 
build confidence, resourcefulness and independence. These are skills 
they will carry with them for life. The camp also runs a scholarship to 
ensure that children can attend regardless of their family's ability to 
pay.
  None of this would be possible without the steadfast commitment of 
four generations of the Gucker Family. The camp was founded by Colba 
``Chief'' Gucker and his family has carried on this tradition ever 
since.
  On behalf of New York's 21st District, I want to thank the Gucker 
family for their commitment to our community and congratulate them on 
the centennial anniversary of The North Country Camps.
