West Summerland Key
Encyclopedia : W : WE : WES : West Summerland Key
West Summerland Key is part of the lower Florida Keys. It is the site of two adjoining Scout camps, Boy Scout Camp Sawyer and Girl Scout Camp Wesumkee. Camp Wesumkee is the site of the Winter Star Party, an annual gathering of amateur astronomers.
Its ecology has suffered recent hurricane damage. The dock at Camp Sawyer which was rebuilt after a 2004 storm became, in turn, scrap lumber in 2005. The storm surges came in from the east and eliminated many more trees on the Camp Wesumkee side of the Key that at Camp Sawyer, which still had many fifty year old buttonwood trees taken out.
West Summerland Key is actually about 10 miles east of Summerland Key.
