On August 9th friends and family traveled from near and far to gather at
Camp Hoffman for the dedication of a new cabin—Dever’s Rest which was
made possible by a generous gift from F. Harriett Dever. Harriett was a life-long Girl Scout, first as a camper, then counselor, troop leader and volunteered as
president of the Girl Scouts Leaders Association.
Harriett loved Girl Scouting and Camp Hoffman. In fact, she loved camp so much she decided to get a job at a school just so she could have summers off and return to Camp Hoffman! Before her passing Harriett decided she wanted to give something back to the camp she loved so future generations of girls could enjoy the same outdoor experiences she had as a girl and then as an adult. Dever’s Rest can accommodate up to 20 girls and 4 leaders/counselors and will be available for troop camping in the spring of 2019.
After the dedication, dear friends and family enjoyed a beautiful reception at nearby Wellville, shared stories and memories of Harriett, and all agreed—Dever’s Rest is a wonderful legacy to Harriett’s memory and reminder of what was close to her heart.
