Summer Camps at Lacawac are named after Kate Svitek who had a passion for the outdoors. Her dream was to open her own school for children to learn outdoor skills and develop a respect and passion for our wilderness as she did. Kate loved life and she loved working in the great outdoors, Her compassion for people, nature and the world she loved will never be forgotten.
