Camp Jabberwocky, the Vineyard residential camp for people with disabilities, announced Monday that it has hired a new executive director — the second in its 70-year history.
A Lamb is returning to lead Camp Jabberwocky. Caitlin Lamb, granddaughter of founder Helen (Hellcat) Lamb and daughter of former camp director John Lamb, will be one of two co-directors for the entire summer season.
Sunday marked a small homecoming of sorts for Camp Jabberwocky, after a year of no activity at the venerable Vineyard camp for people with disabilities.
A feature film with deep Martha’s Vineyard roots is about to get its long-awaited streaming release, more than a year after the pandemic derailed a live-audience world premiere in Texas.
Among the wooded knolls and winding paths of Camp Jabberwocky, tiger lilies bloom in profusion. They line the wooden cabins in memory of former camper Katie Johnson, who died two years ago at age 15. “The tiger lily’s orange blossom really symbolizes Katie,” said camper Kristin Pachico, a friend of Katie’s. “She had glowing red hair, bright blue eyes, and a fiery spirit.”
