Dear Chenny Families,
What an unforgettable day—it truly couldn’t have been more perfect. The sun was shining, the energy was electric, and Camp Chen-A-Wanda came alive the moment your kids stepped off those buses. With music playing, welcome signs waving, chants echoing, and hugs all around, the spirit of camp was everywhere. It was nothing short of magical.
Right away, you could feel the connections forming. New friendships blossomed, and the joy on every camper’s face said it all. The reasons you chose to send your children to Chenny were on full display—kindness, community, and the chance to be part of something truly special. From our tiniest Freshmen to our CITs on the Hill, the excitement was contagious. We’re all here with one shared mission: to make this the most incredible summer ever.
In classic Chenny tradition, we kicked things off with a spaghetti and meatballs dinner, followed by a dance party in The Lodge. Kids stood on the benches, singing at the top of their lungs and dancing their hearts out. The room was filled with laughter, music, and the joy of being together again.
After dinner, campers gathered with their divisions for cozy campfires and s’mores under the stars—one of those simple, perfect camp moments. Then it was off to Shields Hall for Opening Night and it was perfect. Shields Hall was buzzing with happy and excited campers, all ready to jump in and get this summer going. Your children deserve a summer full of laughter, growth, adventure, and unforgettable memories—and that’s exactly what we’re ready to give them. Our team is here, fully prepared and deeply excited to make this summer the best one yet. Honestly, we’re not sure who’s more excited—the campers or the staff! All campers are in their bunks, tired from a long and great day
So take a deep breath, enjoy your summer, and know your children are in the best hands. Thank you for trusting us and being a part of this incredible community.
Here we go—Summer 2025 is officially underway!
