In 1920 Equinunk
campers lived in 5 tents

the hotel hill.
The first

Tribes” took
place during the
Summer of 1920.
In the winter of 1919 when Edward Lehrer (Chiefy) first
speculated the camp property. Ed, as the tale goes, turned
to Bert Bringing (our first caretaker) and said, “You
can’t have camp without a lake.” Bert gestured towards
Union Lake, which was frozen and covered with snow.
“Trust me,” he said, “It’s there.”
