Year: 2015

Yeah, well, you might recognize some of these mug shots, and, if you do, just tell the authorities they can locate all of these characters along the shores of Lake Tarleton come summer, 2016.

This is the first of several reports from Mr. Wiff, which take you through last summer, a few weeks at a time.  Lots of things changed, and mostly for the good, as summer progressed.  For example, I could not resist showing both the “before and after” of the council fire area.  It sure was a … Read more

With a summer as good as this past one, we are expecting a brisk return rate for summer 2016.  Since Sara is busy redesigning our new camp brochure (and doing those yearbooks and other custom photo projects) I resorted to going through my middling photos to find pix of boys signed up already.  Of the … Read more

Come dawn, the administrative team met on the Main Lodge front porch for our usual 7:30 … Read more

Sundays are a legitimate change of pace here at camp.  Pasted below is this morning’s schedule.  You’ll get the idea soon enough and many parents over the years have expressed gratitude that we select this time each week for some reorganization and introspection.  Another beautiful day is upon us here in Paradise. DEEP SCRUB DAY:  … Read more

We had some garden variety showers yesterday afternoon.  That the lifeguards and ski boat drivers were given a hearty cheer at dinner suffices as testament to our approaches of pushing forward during mild interruptions to the norm. By 7:30, a beautiful evening had evolved.  I could not resist adding a couple photos that captured the … Read more

Be sure to check out our Vimeo page as we regularly update it with new videos throughout the summer. The most recent report, entitled “Creative Programming” features some excellent footage. Here is what I emailed the parents: Today I accomplished a rare feat: I published a third vimeo report in as many days. Don’t get … Read more
