WHEN WAS THE YWCA VERMONT’S CAMP HOCHELAGA FOUNDED?
Miss Marion Gray, the National YWCA Field Secretary to Vermont wrote in her 1919 report to the National YWCA, the following: “Miss Grace Brooks, of St. Albans was secured early in May to organize and direct a small camp for girls…” The camp was called Camp Worth While. In September 1921, the YWCA filed Articles of Association for Camp Hochelaga Corporation. Camp Hochelaga moved to its current location in 1925 with the purchase of 21 acres. In 1928, it received an additional 9 acres as a gift, bringing the total acreage to its present 30 acres in South Hero on Lake Champlain.
