HOUSEBOAT

The first houseboat at Wohelo was this floating cabin. Halsey Gulick was Director of this floating camp when he was around 19. He took a group of boys on the boat for the whole summer all around Sebago Lake, including Boulders Cove below in 1920.

This seemed like a good chance to also show the Steamer Ferry that would bring campers to camp each year. Below photo looks like a special event during the summer – 1929.

March and May 1938 Wohelo Birds. It seems like whether they wanted to or not it was named with these posts.

The first photo we can find – 1940.

Another photo from 1941 shows it’s original location off Crow’s Beach.

A rare color photograph from 1942 shows the red roof in the distance in the Rowing Cove.
