There are several advantages of coming to camp at the end of the summer. Perhaps most importantly, the counselors and staff are well-experienced. Even the staff members who were new to summer camp in May are now veterans. They have dealt with homesickness, the camp schedule and the vagaries of cabin life.
On behalf of the staff and counselors at Camp Champions, let me welcome everyone that is joining us for our 51st summer of camping fun!
We have had a great summer, with 8 weeks of camp behind us. We work for almost 10 months each year in order to enjoy the gifts of camp: the smiles, the hugs, the laughter and the opportunities for growth!
This week will be the last one of the summer for our Senior Camper (high school leadership) program.
The third week of camp is always our favorite.

Yesterday was a crazy day. We had our final Trojan-Spartan game of third term, the Roll Out the Red Carpet Dance, 2 Senior Camper talks, one Man Cave and our weekly meeting. During all of that, we had 3 sets of guests that we had the pleasure to entertain.
During the first day of camp, we met with all the new campers in our home. In addition to giving them cookies and milk, we allowed them to ask any questions that they might have.
The Trojan-Spartan games are one of the oldest traditions at Camp Champions. Since 1967, campers have initiated into either the Trojan tribe of the Spartan tribe on the first Saturday of a session.
