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.

WARMTH! That pretty much sums up what is going on at camp right now. Although most of the groups are getting double swim time, or extended swim! That is good.
The campers have been awesome with this extreme heat! Kids rarely complain about anything that the adults haven’t planted into their minds.
We are looking forward to tomorrows hump day: trailblazer choice, cookout, community service and so much more!
Stay tuned.

PS. Staff soccer team tied tonight 3-3.

Happy 4th to one and all!
Staff have the day off today and has given me some time for some refelction. We are approaching the middle of the summer.
It is always amazing how at camp, a week seems like a day and a day seems like a week.
Last week was so much fun as we concluded with our All Camp Extravaganza and “Captains Duels” British American Style. For the first time in memory, the Americans won the re-enactment. It has been some time.
As for the week ahead, this is always a special week as our numbers are down just a bit due to the holiday. Monday should be interesting to see how many campers actually come to camp. Hopefully we’ll have a full camp, however we have heard from some families that they are taking the day off. They will be missed.
As for activities, many of our international staff were really excited to see Germany win their recent match in the world cup and our next staff soccer match is this Tuesday.
The “new building” that hasn’t been named yet is almost finished. We’ve the got the flooring and the fixtures still to put in and we should be good to go in about 2-3 weeks.
Hope you all “make it a great one” this 4th of July.

Wow, can’t believe it has been so long since my last post. My apologies. At camp, we say that a week seems like a day sometimes. This is definitely the case this past week.
I was fortunate enough last Thursday and Friday to visit George Mason University with our daughter Eryn who will be attending there next year. We had Freshman orientation and they had an awesome set up! Orientation for the parents as well as the students. She is going to have a magnificent college career in one of the best Universities by one of the best major cities in our great country!
As for camp, we have more campers registered this week than for any other week this summer. So it has been action packed and fun filled.
I’m really enjoying our Edge Campers this week. They are full of energy and having fun with Mo and Leslie. Next week Mo is taking off and Boston Ben will be working with them. I think they will really like him. However, it will be different.
Since numbers are down a bit due to the 4th next week, Monday should be interesting. Some years, the staff have a “pool” to see who will be closest without going over to the number of campers in camp on the holiday. Should be around 100. Regardless, we always give the campers extra pool time and more of their favorites.
It’s a great time of year to have a more “chilled” out week and recharge a little bit before the second half of the summer kicks in.
Should be a great one!

I’m so excited for tomorrow, I can’t sleep. Our trailblazer campers have Trailblazer Choice led by the Edge Campers! The Xtreme Challenge Group climb the Cat Walk and Eagle Walk, the Great Outdoors Campers will be cooking Chicken Kabobs at the campfire, the Teen Scene has community service and the Edge Campers Climb and Zip tomorrow! Wow! What a day. I can’t wait.
Oh….we had some ARt and Drama Campers who did an imitation of Whose on First today at round up, it was so good. They really worked hard on it. Watch out Abbot and Costello!
Teen Scene loved the caverns today. It was a long drive, but they all said it was worth it.
Well, great day ahead, I must go prepare for it mentally and physically….YOURS IN CAMPING,

Week 3 “Nautical Nonsense” started today and I must say, it was fun! We started the day with morning opening/flag raising and ended like any other camp day with round up/flag lowering. Everything else in between seems to be a blur except the campers going home pretty dirty. Normally means a great camp day. In this case … absolutely! I got loads of emails form Moms and Dads today/tonight thanking us for camp and what we do. Thanks right back atcha for sharing your children with us. We really love working with you to grow and develop your children.

As week two (”Giddy Up and Go”) comes to a close we always remind campers to show appreciation and thank yous to their counselors. Counselors are the key to the success of any camp program and our counselors this summer are AWESOME!
In addition to the counselors, we remind campers to thank whoever it is that sent them to camp for the opportunity. Most children across our great nation never get a chance to go to camp, let alone one like Triple C, so we remind the children to be appreciative for the opportunities they have.
Libby and I also want to share our appreciation to the staff and camp families to their commitment to TRIPLE C CAMP! Without either of these groups, it sure would be lonely at Triple C!
As we look toward week #3 we are excited for “Nautical Nonsense”. Lots of games, song and cheers having to do with the water and sea. Like, “The Princess Pat.” A camp favorite. The Teen Sceners are going on three field trips this week as well as community service on Wed. before they hit Chris Greene Lake.
The Xtreme Challenge Group will be joined by Joe from the Button Factory this week and will surely make a splash. A few staff have a well deserved break too. If you are still looking to sign up for more weeks this summer, we have some choice spaces in groups and on the buses still available.
Lastly, we have our first camper overnight of the summer this Thursday night. A good time will be had by all. If your not signed up, shoot us an email and we will add you in.

Wednesdays are always so much fun at Triple C. We keep the excitement going with our rising 2nd and 3rd graders having TRAILBLAZER CHOICE. Each camper gets to pick two activities from about 15 choices that is all organized by our Edge Campers and run by the counselors and the Edge Campers.(Oldest Campers in Camp)
The XTREME CHALLENGE GROUP climbed the cat walk and eagle walk today on the high ropes course.
The Great Outdoors Campers went to Walnut Creek where they canoed in the camp canoes, hiked the trails, cooked out lunch and swam at the W.C. beach!
The Teen Scene did community service at the McIntyre Recycling Center and helped do clean up at the SPCA. We are so fortunate to be able to help out those in our community. Then the Teen Scene Joined the Great Outdoors Group at Walnut Creek for swimming and canoeing!
Back at camp, the Edge Campers also climbed the cat walk and eagle walk…so did Leslie the Edge Counselor! We’re all so proud of her!
Oh…this morning at morning opening, two of our barn staff(Taylor and Peaches) rode in on a couple of horses and then explained how horses play an important role in the culture and history of America. Great way to celebrate Giddy Up and Go week!
WHAT A DAY! More tomorrow!
