Notes: 

1  Ownership spread among staff who invested or received shares as a recruiting commission. The camp is incorporated into Keewaydin Camps, Ltd. and Clarke retained 52% ownership. Among the directors were Clarke, Wells, Creelman, Gunn, Chess Kittredge, Doc Harter, Gertrude Clarkson, Stephen Breed,  and Douglas. 

2  Clarke remained president and controlling shareholder until his resignation during the 1925 season. Speedy Rush purchased Clarke's shares and became new General Director of the corporation.

3  Ownership of the Temagami operations (Temagami camp, Ojibway and Devil's Island) passes to Keewaydin Camps, Ltd., a Canadian corporation. Gunn and Creelman hold the shares. To date, it has remained the corporate entity owning the camp.

4  A U.S. non-profit, educational foundation.

5  Although Bill Carpenter's title was associate director and Dan's was director, the brothers functioned in many ways as co-directors.

6  The Keewaydin Foundation is a Vermont, non-profit 501(c)3 corporation that purchased Camp Keewaydin on Lake Dunmore in 1983. Today it also operates Camp Songadeewin, Keewaydin Wilderness Canoe Trips and the Keewaydin Environmental Education Center, all based on Lake Dunmore, Vermont. On April 4, 2001, Fogg and Lehrman donated their ownership to the Foundation. Both received positions on the Foundation board with Fogg becoming Vice Chairman.
