Why is it called camp Tuckahoe

From the purchase of the land until part way through the first season, the camp was referred to as "South Mountain Camp" and also "South Mountain Memorial Scout Camp" (as a tribute to WWII servicemen).

The name Tuckahoe is attributed to mean "Land of the Deer and the Fawn" in a Native American language.
