Happy New Year!

January's arrival means that the holidays are over, and it's back to the grind. Many people dread coming back to work after the new year, but not those of us that work in camping. This is when we really start ramping up for the great summer ahead, despite the fact that some of our own parents still think that working in camps means that we really only work three months out of the year. :) We are busy registering our long-time campers, recruiting new campers, hiring staff, organizing open house events, planning the new additions to camp and getting the facilities in order. The fun is just beginning!

Enjoy Autumn in East Brookfield


Did you realize that we rent out Camp Frank A. Day during the autumn and spring? These are the tranquil months when we share our special camp deep among the pines. We have had universities, other camps, families and drama groups rent camp this year already. They have enjoyed beautiful weather and got to participate in a sampling of the activities we offer.




Now is a great time to be thinking about a venue for your upcoming event. Sorry, our fall calendar is already full, but we are booking spring and autumn events for next summer. Contact us at 617-244-6050 ext.3008.

2011

After taking a little time off for some R&R after a great summer, we are all back and busy planning for next summer. This week we finalized the 2011 camp brochure. A special thanks to all our highly paid models. OK, so they aren't really models and they weren't really paid, but they do look great! We are also busy working on a new promotional DVD, which will be released toward the end of next month. You will all recognize some familiar faces...maybe even yours!

Good-bye Summer 2010


With Labor Day behind us, the summer has officially come to a close. It's bitter sweet. Although we are all sad to say good-bye to our camp friends and staff, the fact that summer camp only happens in the summer makes us treasure the times that we've had knowing that we all have to wait nine more months to return to our summer home-away-from-home. Campers must return to school. American staff head back to college and our international staff enjoy travelling the US before making the trek home. Thank goodness we have Facebook to keep us connected!
