See Ya in 2010

2009 showed Chingachgook a lot of great things. We had a new junior boys bathhouse, our first full summer with Baxter Park, two new skill classes (guitar and softball), more campers then ever before, and of course...a staff that was second to none! I'd like to thank all of our CITs, counselors and program/waterfront staff from last summer for helping us achieve the many things that we did, and the Support Staff; Mike (SBU), Alex (JBU), Kristen (SGU), Lori (JGU), Tressie/Carlos/Richy (CITs), Katie (Aquatics), Jason (Boating), Heather (Skill Classes), Ken (Special Events), and of course Nicole (Day Camp) for helping me all throughout the summer. Chingachgook couldn't have done it without any of you! See you in 2010!

Barn is Done...But where'd the bridge go?

After working quite hard for an extended period of time, our maintenance crew was able to complete the new barn in just over a week. As soon as the weather warms up (April probably), you'll find it getting a fresh coat of paint. Any color ideas?

As for the bridge...well, guess who needed a new one? That's right, we did! A couple of days ago the old bridge was taken out, now the foundation is being put together for the new bridge that will be much fancier then our old one. Anyone want to see how many people we can fit on the new bridge next summer?...Just kidding...sort of.

The Barn is coming

You read that correctly, the barn is coming! As part of our ever growing farm at Camp, the climbing tower bathhouse is getting a tremendous makeover, both inside and out. First, the outside is be made to look like a barn from the present farm location. As you can see from the pictures, the construction is well under way, and we're hoping to be finished sometime before 2010. Now, the inside! Just like our junior boys bathhouse got a new interior, so is the climbing tower KYBO. We completely gutted the inside, and everything will be brand new for the upcoming summer giving Camp another wonderful and new bathhouse!
