At Kawaga they have Indian tribes that the kids strive for by performing different activities around camp; somewhat similar to badges in boy scouts. The two tribes are Mawanda and Sachem, and each year a plaque is made to celebrate the kids initiation into each tribe. After being initiated into the tribe of Sachem for the first time you are given an indian name (mine being Loyal Scout). The plaque contains all of the kids who have made it into either tribe during that camping season. This year I had the honor to design the plaque that would be around for years to come; camp has plaques dating as far back as the 1920's and a few before that! This first image is my design for the Mawanda Sachem plaque of 2009, my sketch has been sent to one of the fathers of the counselors at Mercury Plastics and it is going to be machined out of a plank of wood. I can't wait to see the finished product!
