Awards

The Halsey Gulick Award

The Halsey Gulick award was first presented in 1982 by the Maine Youth Camping Association to recognize people who have distinguished themselves in the field of organized youth camping in Maine. The award commemorates the leadership contributions of Maine's J. Halsey Gulick, one of camp's early leaders.

Recipients are selected by their colleagues in camping; anyone may recommend candidates and candidates need not be members of MYCF. The award is presented at MYCF's annual meeting each summer.
