Camp Jabberwocky Begins with
Changed Leadership
By: James Kinsella
"The red bus is back, and so are the participants of Camp Jabberwocky, the
longtime summer camp on Martha's Vineyard for youths and adults with cerebral
palsy.
The campers, who settled in last Monday for the opening of the July camp,
already have embarked on a full schedule of activities, including rides on the
Flying Horses carousel in Oak Bluffs, a field trip to Menemsha, basketball and
football, a studio night where campers entertained each other with singing and
dancing, participation in the church service Sunday at Grace Episcopal Church in
Vineyard Haven, and repeated visits for sun and fun at State Beach.
Today, they are scheduled to make their annual appearance in the Edgartown
Fourth of July parade, which begins at 5 p.m. at the Edgartown school and winds
through downtown streets.
Behind the scenes, however, there has been a shift in Camp Jabberwocky's
directors. Gillian Lamb Butchman, daughter of Jabberwocky founder Helen
(Hellcat) Lamb, has left the Vineyard operation to start a camp on Nantucket for
people with cerebral palsy. Ms. Butchman ran the July camp on the Vineyard for
many years."
