Sorry it has been so long since the last post. So much is going on here at camp.

This week we started spring break camp on Monday which included our day camp and an expedition to the Appalachian Trail! Day camp is operating this week for KG-6th graders and they had so much fun in the amazing sun on Monday and then the complete dicotomy today with chilly winds and temperatures. However, the campers always have such positive attitudes and love being at camp.
Monday, the word of the day was Metamorphosis and Tuesday we are focused on H2o. Very appropriate for the weather…it just worked. I’ve had the fortunate opportunity to drive the bus this week and am having such fun hearing the campers sing songs and just be happy kids. Sometimes they get so overwhelmed with the day to day routines of school, sports teams, drs. appointments, parents, etc. that it is so much fun to just see them play! Did you notice how I slipped “parents” in there….no offense to anyone as I’m a parent too…however the kids are so much fun to watch and experience away from the pressures that they can sometimes feel.
As for our Expedition Campers, they took off Monday afternoon and will be sleeping and hiking on the A.T. for the next four nights…what an adventure. They will be hiking up to 10 miles with their full packs. Thanks to Mike, Cara and Jordan for providing them with such an experience.
Tuesday we had visitors from Fluvanna Parks and Rec. that went on the ropes course, then made their way to Walnut Creek for some paddling with Emily and Tim…and Cody. They got wet, but had fun!
Before we know it, summer will be here and campers will be continuing to sing songs, play in the creeks and making friends.
Come visit us at our open house this month on April 17th from 2-4pm, we would love to see/meet you and your family.

This Sunday, please come visit us at the Albemarle Family camp fair at the Doubletree Hotel. We’ll be there from 10-3pm. Great opportunity to learn more about Triple C and other community programs.
The BEST way to learn about camp is to come out and visit. Call us any time 434.293.2529 to schedule a tour or to just chat about the programs. We look forward to hearing from you.

Wow! So much is happening at Triple C Camp.
The Green Adventure Project now has not-profit status and had it’s first board meeting this week. Constant Contacts have gone out for Daisy Days, Boy and Girl Scout Badge Opportunities, Home School Programs…wow is it going to be a great year. Mike and Emily are doing a fantastic job. Oh…Emily and Runnin Rachel were down in Austin Texas last week for a program with the NCAA Student Athletes to work on team building at an anti drug and alcohol conference….pretty cool!
When I think of all the haps over the last 12 years, it is really astonishing how many lives we have had the opportunity to impact. We are grateful and thankful for all our staff and participants who have made it so special.
Soon, we will really get rolling for summer. So much is inspired as the facility “wakes up”!
Let us know if we can be of any service and check out the new website for the Green Adventure Project.

As the weather has warmed up a bit in the last few days, I’m thinking about the sounds of summer. We get phone calls daily from families learning more about what we do at Triple C year round. Come on our for a visit! We would love to see you.
We also have been hiring the best staff ever. So many of our staff are returning like: Skooby, Loz, Callum, Devin, Michelle, Nikki, Boston Ben, Wynter, Ian, Sparkles, Runnin’ Rachel, Taylor, Travis, and more! When I think of summer, it is hard not to think of these fantastic staff members. We also have some other new great staff members like Fiona from New Zealand. You’ll see her with Taylor at the barn.
The green adventure project is really taking off. Stay tuned…more to come.

Well, last Friday the 20th was our final day of 2010. It really was magnificent as we started the day at morning opening honoring Rosser Wayland IV with “Water Chicken Way”. His preservation efforts over the years have been amazing. The day concluded with an amazing dance party at the Astroplex! Everyone enjoyed the Cha Cha slide and other camp favorites. After all camp, we went for the final Purple/Gold of the summer. The purple team led at the end due to a technicality with the audio equipment, so the “Official Official” decided that there should be one more competition.
The final event that would decide the winner for the summer was a bus captain/driver song war for the ages. The purple team was represented by eight members where the gold team only had five. One big advantage to the Gold team was that Ms. Libby was on their team and she is the most equipped to bring home the victory. However, you still have to perform and anyone can choke!
As the competition went on, the Purple team members were being knocked out one by one and the strongest purple team member seemed to be Ben Greenwood of Tr. Boys 3 fame! He dominated with song after song, however Ms. Libby was up to the challenge and stayed toe to toe with Greenie for the whole event.
After about 15 songs each with no repeats, Greenie was not able to come up with another song and Ms. Libby/Gold Gorillas won the Purple/Gold Cup for the second summer in a row.
Kudos to all the participants.
Mostly, we want to thank all the Triple C Camp Counselors for a safe, fun summer. We can’t do it without you.

I’m getting excited for our family photo safari this Saturday!

Still space if you are interested.

Our Expedition this week is off to an AWESOME start! We have six very brave campers participating and last night they slept at our on site outpost center after a full day on the ropes course and enjoying other activities around camp which included learning how to set and fit a pack for a trip like this. Pretty cool education!
As for today, they will begin the first of two days of canoeing. Muscles will be sore, but a great time will be had by all…stay tuned.
Since our theme this week is Monkey See Monkey Do, campers will be dressing up tomorrow in their favorite animal type outfits. Looking for to seeing what the staff AND campers come up with.
Oh….lastly, yesterday began our two week back to school supply drive. Campers are already bringinig in pencils and paper and backpacks to help those that are less fortunate. Very proud of all!

Well, three weeks left this summer. Monkey See, Monkey Do is our theme this week. Should be interesting. Oh…we have our Expedition leaving tomorrow for a full overnight week until Friday. I’ll try to post each day with info. about what they are up to.
Another neat thing this week is that we should get occupancy of our new building “The NEST” (NATURE, ENVIRONMENT SCIENCE AND TECHNOLOGY) very excited…so are the kids about the “Green” building and how it will be used for camp.
Please email or call with any questions or concerns.

Back to the Future is our theme this week.
I can’t believe it has been so long since I have written. Time is really flying by. Only 3.5 weeks of camp left this summer.
Tomorrow counselors will be dressing up like the past or the future…we may even see Marty McFly or the Delorean at Triple C!
We also have Trailblazer Choice and the Great Outdoors Group is going to Walnut Creek. Should be an awesome camp day.
We got some much needed rain at camp today. Didn’t really slow anyone down. We even had some campers that went mud sliding! It was awesome!
Other things happening:
Long sisters are doing a great job organizing Fridays all camp extravaganza! Can’t wait.
We’re having a family day at camp on August 7th. Photo Safari and Cardboard Regatta…should be a blast. Come join us.
Lots of groups are also booking for our fall programs….we’re having so much fun from summer, I can’t believe that fall programs are right around the corner.
Overnight this Thursday night should be a blast…so many fantastic staff. We are so fortunate. Give us a call if you still want to add the overnight, or more weeks this summer.

I’m blown away that we just finished week 6! We are now more than half way through the summer.
The campers continue to amaze me. We have been having record heat, no rain(almost) and such positive attitudes from the kids. Although, the staff are the role models and their attitudes have been tremendous.
This past week was Disco Explosion Week and dress up day was a ball. We had the Village People, Earth Wind and Fire, many 70′s lookers and so much fun with it. The Gold Gorillas prevailed at our all camp extravaganza that included creatively acquire the bacon for the staff and a all camp “Battleship” contest that included water balloons and sponges thrown over a tarp like the real game. Lots of fun battles as the campers got really wet and their we many smiles.
Last week was also our most campers yet this summer which propels us to an exciting second half of the season.
However, we do have more space in some groups and on some buses, so if you want to add, just let us know.

What a fantastic finish to our “Explore Galore” week. We had a counselor hunt this afternoon for our all camp extravaganza! Egor was the only staff member that was found by anyone and the winning group found 13 counselors! Great job.
We are working diligently to add pictures to our BLOGS…thanks for your patience.
Week six which is all about DISCO will be rockin’ in style as we have the most campers of the summer signed up. Hopefully the weather will continue to support us in the 80′s & 90′s….a welcome relief from some of our weather the last couple of weeks.
Kudos to the Purple Storm for winning this weeks counselor battles, and appreciate campers who brought in paper towel roles and 2 liter bottles. We could use some more 2 liter bottles if you have them. Thank you.
See you Monday.
