A Note from the Webmaster

   When I volunteered last summer to take over the FNCA website, I thought I'd just be updating the camp information once a year. It never occured to me that I'd be creating a completely new site! The old site was off to a good start, with great photos and lots of info; however, it was a real struggle figuring out how to edit everything. So with my son Jason (our webhost http://jasonwoof.com), we decided to just start over.

However, I ended up doing lots of editing, lots of rewrites, and creating lots of new pages; but I'm glad to report that Phase One of the new FNCA website is completed. The basics are up and people can now get all the information they need to find out about camp from this site.

   For Phase Two, will begin at camp. I'll be scanning in a lot of the historical pictures, posters, and other documents and papers that are spread out all over camp, and using these to put together some photo pages to add to the "FNCA History" menu. We'll also be adding a "Links" page, more "Photo Pages", as well as a few other nice extras.

   Right now what the site needs is older photos, from say the 1960s and earlier. If you have old FNCA photos that you'd be willing to be included on this site, I would love to see them. You can get them to me in several ways:
1. Scan them in and email them to me at the email address at the bottom of the page.
2. Put them on Facebook so that my lovely wife, Nancy Little, can access them.
3. Mail them to me at P.O. Box 463, Haydenville MA 01088. If you select this option, I promise to take excellent care of your photos and, if you'd like them returned, pack them carefully to mail them back to you after I scan them in.

   If you do send photos, I'd like as much information about them as possible. For copyright purposes, the year the photo was taken and who took the picture are particularly important. For historical purposes, identifying people, places, and relevant things in the photos is also quite good.

   If you have any additions, deletions, corrections, updates, suggestions, etc. of absolutely any sort for this website, please send them along to me at the address below. And here's a list of some specific photo images I'd like to add:

 1. handwork done at camp
 2. inside the boys bunkhouse
 3. the Flames class
 4. the Board
 5. a dynamic lecture shot
 6. morning chapel
 7. just Senior Flames
 8. the big daily schedule on the wall in the dining hall
  9. tents
10. a picture of someone with their sponsor
11. inside Chalmers
12. salad bar
13. Sales Table
14. people on the beach (remember when we had one?)
15. whole families (Guius, Richardsons, Phinneys)(not Woofs)
16. multi-generational photos of all kinds
17. campers napping

   If you have any of these or any just plain terrific photos of camp you'll let us use, please email them to me along with your full name and the year the picture was taken for copyright purposes.

   Thanks everyone for making the FNCA so wonderful!

Your FNCA Webmaster,
