Welcome to the Cibola web site!
For a number of years in
the 1950s and 1960s, Sandy and Eleanor Orr ran Cibola, a summer camp in
New Mexico, which was attended by high school students from Washington
D.C. and other cities. Many Cibola campers from Washington were
also students at The Hawthorne School, a small progressive high school
founded by the Orrs in 1956.
This web site is an offshoot of the Hawthorne School web site, and at
the moment the two are still entangled with each other, so please be
patient. The links above will lead you to all the Cibola content
on both sites.
If you are an alumnus or alumna of Cibola and/or Hawthorne, please register so we can keep in touch with you!
