An outrageous bribery scandal was uncovered and rapidly snuffed out last night at dinner. The NEUTRALS — counselors and administration responsible for refereeing the games — sit in the middle column of tables. See below the photographic evidence of the obvious effort to sway our judgments. You will be shocked. (HA HA)
I had a nice time as a casual fan at several of the Bow & Arrow contests of yesterday. It was fun to root for both teams at the same time, and cheering for good plays made by anyone. There were quite a few of those. Sportsmanship was terrific, as advertised as well as mandated … Read more
Alice and I were awakened at 6:30 by the sound of hammers, etc, as the coaches erected their respective staging just outside our window. When was the last time your collegiate son was up at that hour, doing something significant? B&A is color war — done the Kingswood way, which is to say with good sportsmanship. … Read more
The boys from Hilly 1 put on a skit at dinner last evening. It was well choreographed, funny and poignant. “Super Boss” was the title, lost on just about everyone but me, who asked what that meant. A camper in the bunk had been homesick at first, but now that he has been here … Read more
Eat your heart out. We sure did!

Add proper training of good guys to that formula and one has a concept most likely to produce successful outcomes. Many boys come to camp with tremendous reluctance bordering on downright … Read more
The following photos are of boys who are “WANTED ALIVE.” Said another way, many of these lads have been lens-averse and have not been in as many photo reports as others. I’ve got a few more “arrests” to make, but I am making progress.
Actually, we think every waking moment for boys at camp is a learning situation for them. Guys who were homesick a week ago no longer are showing much, if any, separation anxiety. It is a simple strategy, but not an easy one to execute, when cool counselors persevere with the campers, insisting that they take … Read more
Boys love to play Capture the Flag in the deep woods. We have adopted rules which reward those who can sneak up on the flag and touch it, rather than steal it and thus have to run pell-mell through the dense forest. Not a good plan! Anyway, in 15 seconds last evening, as the teams … Read more
Sunday is reorganization day at Kingswood. I’ll paste the schedule below. Keep scrolling to the four photos just taken this very minute. You can witness our “continental breakfast” going on, with mostly the young boys in early attendance. The exception is the older boys making sandwiches and packing gear for the three-day hike in the … Read more
