Swampy

Right in the middle, on the island of land that the circut of Olive Street cradles, is number 29. If you draw a slightly curved line from the Tower House to the Sugar Tree Cottage, in between is a smaller camp. Fixed up (all of the houses we have on Olive Street need a bit of fixing) it should make a cozy place for my son to spend his summers, if not longer.  All of his summers since 2011 have been spent around the  Lakewood Theater. He was part of several Young Performers/Teen, Tech & Tour performances, and has now also appeared in nearly a dozen main stage productions. Additionally he ushers regularly, and sometimes works backstage.  He has acted, directed and stage managed with/at/for several other companies as well, but I do believe Lakewood is his favorite and there's no place he'd rather be.[other than Salamanca Spain perhaps] He intends to be a part of the Lakewood community for a long, long, very long time indeed, so it's nice to have a place for him to hang his hat! 

Unfortunately, due to it's location at the bottom of the hill,  there is indeed some water that seems to settle right there in the front yard of the camp during the springtime thaw... and so it has earned the nickname "Swampy."
