Camp Champions Blog

On a typical day, I will try to give you a snapshot of what camp looks like from my point of view, that of a parent and an “adult”.

When you read this, you will likely be about 24 hours from arriving at camp, so I am not sure what to share with you.

Normally, I would be telling you about the Holiday Dance, division afternoon (activities for groups of 4-5 cabins) or Trojan-Spartan games. Let me assure you that all went very well. Campers competed, danced and played heartily.

“Today is my favorite day at camp!”

I can tell that it is the last week of camp.

In my blog, I mostly strive to focus on the activities of camp as well as the benefits of camp. But occasionally I like to share a little bit about what it is like to be a “grown up” who makes his living as a camp professional. This is such a blog.

Yesterday, Susie Ma’am and I met with the Senior Campers for the 4^th time. Actually, we had 3 separate meetings, one each with those who just finished 9^th, 10^th and 11^th grade.

I write a lot about the benefits of camp, but sometimes it is nice to celebrate the fun.

Each year, campers receive a tenure gift that acknowledges how many summers they have been part of the camp family.

Sometimes a blog writes itself. Today is such a day. I have two fun items to share.
