You know you're from Camp Chingachgook when...

Your know you’re from Camp Chingachgook when…

1. You know EVERY word to “I love Camp Chingachgook”, “This Camp is your Camp”, and “I’m a Chingachgook Kid”

2. When you see a golf cart, you automatically think about Camp, not golf.

3. Phil Holden has a special place in your heart.

4. You know what KYBO stands for…and you still use it.

5. You’re positive Camp keeps unicorns in the unicorn pen in the JGU.

6. Your favorite song ever is Aaron Cantor’s, “shake yo’ finger.”

7. You’ve gone off the rope swing so many times, that you’ve perfected the art of answering questions in mid-air.

8. It makes you mad when non-camp people won’t honor your calling of “dibs.”

9. You have the urge to call “CHECKAR” after you finish clearing the table at home.

10. When you pack for Camp every year, you throw in tons of “weird stuff”, because you are CERTAIN it’s going to come in handy.

11. Anytime something is empty you say, “okay, whoever kills it, fills it”

12. “Fred the fairy is so great, is so great, is so great. Fred the fairy is so great, because he’s a fairy”

You have the need to scream the meal time prayers at home with an obnoxious "AMEN" at the end!

You know that winning the cleanest cabin for pizza is deffiently worth it.

When you are at home you get 'camp sick' but when you are at camp you never get home sick.

I forgot all about the meal time prayers. I'm glad to see they still have those. I was there from '77 through '82. JOD, Bug Painter, George Baxter, Dave Towler, Dave and Bill Pope, Tiptoe LaRue, Stormy, Cess Poole, Mark Baird, Laura Frerer (and her brother), John Kaplan, Uncle Smiley, LipShitz, The Great Derfini, and so many others left an indelible mark on me. God I miss that place. - KBSiegel

When you know all the words to TAPS.

When you know all the meal prayers by heart!

When you wake up and ask your mom, "What's our morning activity?"
