Today was EPIC. It is hard to put into words the feeling on camp today but I will try my best to relay how it felt to be part of this community who celebrated the beginning of Color War 2017. The day started like any day here at Chenny – everyone rolled out of bed and headed to The Lodge in their jammies, bed hair and all to eat some delicious chocolate chip pancakes. After they filled their bellies, it was off to line-up but it stared to feel like something was in the air. Every bird that flew by looked suspicious, every announcement from Chenny Central seemed strange – everyone was anticipating that Color war was breaking at line-up. They were sure of it. But they would have to wait a bit longer. After line-up it was back too the bunks for clean-up and inspection. You could literally see the disappointment on their faces as they headed back to the bunks. After a good cleaning and waiting for that moment…. IT HAPPENED! You could suddenly hear something, something that didn’t sound like a bugle.. It was Batman music getting louder and louder and louder.. and just like that, the kids started to scream and run around wondering where.. where do they go? Everyone headed to center camp and in rolled the Batmobile with Batman and Robin behind the wheel. Out of nowhere came Superman, Flash and Wonder-women and the kids went nuts. The car was insane but there was more to come.. As the kids followed Batman up to the top of the hill, they were met by 4 skydivers landing at Camp Chen-A-Wanda for a real Superhero battle.  Captain America, Spiderman,  Ironman and Deadpool came down from the sky and made there way to Chenny. We have a true battle happening here at Camp Chen-A-Wanda and just like it’s Color War – Red DC vs. Gold Marvel!

Kids got dressed head-to-toe in their colors and went right into Tugs of war. The battle was fierce and the kids dug down deep to do their teams proud. They pulled hard and worked as team and showed a strength that they may not have even been aware they had. The faces of fierceness and the grunts of grit, Tugs of War brought the spirit of the games to life and set the tone to what is looking to be an incredible War.  It was fun afternoon of games and competition with steal the bacon, BBG, softball, basketball and soccer but what happened tonight was a night we will remember forever. After mass games, it was contest night and there was something in the air. The energy was just INSANE. Kids were going crazy with dancing and singing in between their games of hippity hops and relay races. The vibe was just electric and the energy tonight was something I haven’t ever felt on contest night, EVER! It was a GIANT party where everyone was in the best mood to party and dance. There is no doubt that from the physical energy your kids produced today, that at this very moment they are having a very deep sleep tonight. Wow is all we can say about what happened at camp today!

Everything about Color War brings out the best in each and every single person on camp. It allows us to be a part of a team, to fight for a common goal, to reach our own personal best, to support our friends, to celebrate our wins, to accept our defeats and to a part of something greater than ourselves. So for now our camp is Red and Gold and the pride runs deep. From psych speeches to song practice – this experience transforms us and Day 1 is in the books. Cannot wait to see what tomorrow brings.

Life is Great at Camp Chen-A-Wanda!!!!!!!

Today was by far the most epic and over the top Color War Fakeout we have ever produced. It was a typical amazing day and the kids were enjoying their activities like normal. Like every other day the bugle rang at 2:30pm for snack call. This is where all the campers come to center camp for their afternoon snack. Well this day would not be like all the other days as just as the kids were enjoying their cookies and milk, in came Ronald McDonald and the Burger King. They took center stage, having a lively debate on who has the best burgers, fries and everything else. After several one ups on who has the ultimate burger, Ronald said “McDonalds is the BEST and I can even make it rain burgers.” And with that, a plane flew over and dropped hundreds of McDonald Burgers. It was raining burgers. Kids were gathering the goods and eating what was coming out of the sky. It was hilarious, it was delicious and then just when the Burger King told the campers to look once more up in the sky, it was another drop and hundreds of papers flew from the plane. When they reached the ground, the kids held them up to see notes reading FAKEOUT!!!! For a moment or two, kids were really believing that this years Color War would be Red McDonalds vs. Gold Burger King. And just like that, the dream was gone. They would have to wait because Color War was not today. This memory they have of burgers falling from the sky will be one they never forget. The smiles and laughs from all our campers were worth every burger that fell from the sky.

In late afternoon the rain moved in but that wouldn’t dampen our spirits and ability for the show to go on. It was too wet to have the show up at the trapeze so we do what we do best and solve a problem. We moved the show into Shields Hall and it was INCREDIBLE. The theme was All Around the World and we all took the trip with them. What was plan B became a more intimate and exciting show. All the elements were there and we didn’t miss a beat. Triple trapeze, silks, spanish web to name a few. We had it all indoors and it was Grade A incredibel. The show went on in the most positive way. Our kids blew our minds with what they learned here  and how they did what they did.  They did things you just cant believe and made it look so easy. Our circus show is a camp favorite and every one of our kids put their heart and soul into tonights performance. Sitting in the audience was such a treat as I couldn’t believe what I was watching. Your kids hit new heights and did things that would take your breath away. Our Circus staff, Michael, Rodrigo, Cheryl, Nick and Ashley felt a pride so deep that all their time with your children paid off big time. The kids soaked up all they were taught and performed more beautifully than any reshesal they had. Just wait until you see your kids when the video gets uploaded. We have some pretty talented kids who put on quiet a show tonight. The Big Top was a Big Success!

Today was our last official trip day  for summer 2017. All campers were out enjoying their final trip of the summer, all dressed in their Gold Chenny shirts ready to start their off camp adventures.

Cherokee Camp (Freshman, Junior & Middies) defined being the “river” today and we couldn’t be more proud of our youngest campers and their incredible attitude. The day started out brilliantly as they boarded the buses, ready for their big trip to Camel Beach. The sun was shining as they entered the park and within 20 minutes the skies opened up and that rain came down. The forecast was sunshine but the weather quickly turned and right above Camel Beach it was a rain, rain rain that just wasn’t going away. So with the news of the park closing it was back on the bus for our littlest campers who took it in stride. The literally went with the flow and handled it with such amazing attitudes, you at home would be beyond proud of your kids. They were making jokes about how wet they all got and didn’t even get on a ride. The got back to camp to a giant pizza and dance party waiting for them in the Lodge. Our youngest kids just rolled with the punches today with a great attitude and a smile.

Mohican Camp (Inters & Collegiates) spent their last trip day at the state park with an afternoon of chilling out on the beach, listening to music, throwing a ball around, playing cards with friends and splashing around the lake to get cool from the hot day. After the sun was setting on their ideal chilled out beach day it was off to the movies to watch a summer blockbuster. The kids munched on popcorn, sipped their slushies, got comfy in their seats and spent their night watching a movie with their best friends.

Navajo Camp (Seniors, Supers & GC’s) spent their last trip day at Kalahari Waterpark and had the BEST day. This ginormous watermark provided an entire day of water ride fun for our oldest kids. They whooshed around the giant toilet bowl, the slipped down slides, they played in the wave pool and so much more. It was an absolute incredible day and the kids came back exhausted and loving their trip.

The CIT’s had their own magical adventure on their last day in Lake George. This trip was full of action packed fun and gave our CIT’s a unique way to end their camper journey her at Chenny. They experienced a ropes course like no other that challenged each one of them to dig down deep and achieve their personal best. For each one of them, this trip represented a personal goal to push through when they may think what is in front of them may be too tough and that they can’t do it. They just very may well get through anything and can achieve what looks impossible and they are stronger than they realize.  It was the best way to end an amazing summer for our incredible CIT’s.

So now, we are all back in camp, safe and sound and most right now are sleeping peacefully from a day spent very well. Today, there was a lot of laughs, a ton of memories made, experiences that enriched our lives and moments that will stay with us forever. So now onto the last 10 days of camp. There is more to do. It ain’t over yet.

When we pull out all the nominations for Kind Campers, we are always amazed to see what campers are writing about their friends who have done kind things. It warms our heart to ready every single nomination and the words your kids write are just incredible. Your kids are truly remarkable and special that they do these kind things for others daily and that others notice and feel the need to share the acts of kindness their friends have done is why we love Kind Campers so very much. As I was sifting through the hundreds and hundreds of nominations, my heart skipped a beat as I read how 2 of my girls were nominated for kind things they did and how they made others feel.

So from my heart, I know how much joy it is to be a very proud parent of a Kind Camper.

Life is Great at Camp Chen-A-Wanda.

Chenny out.

It is crazy to think that in just 13 days your children will be back home with you. We are under the 2 week mark and there is so much fun left to be had. It feels like we have been here forever and living in this Chen-A-Wanda bubble is nearing the last phase for summer 2017. With only such short time to go, we are gearing up for some insane days ahead. 13 days is still an eternity here with Color War, the Circus show, Chenny Globes, Late Night With Leahy and of course Banquet, we have some serious great times ahead of us. The days are still amazing and the nights are remarkable here. We will not take for granted 1 moment we have left here as the best is yet to come. As we gear up for the last leg of summer 2017, we just cant believe how much we’ve done, how much fun we’ve had and how meaningful this summer has been to all of us.

Tonight’s evening activity was our summer production of Seussical the Musical. Our campers took center stage and sang, acted and danced. Our kids loved watching their friends up on stage and we all felt a sense of pride supporting our Chenny friends who entertained us. Whenever our campers are on stage, everyone gets behind them. You should have seen the faces of the cast as the play ended and the curtain reopened for their bows and they saw their audience clapping and cheering for them on their feet with a standing ovation in their honor. It was awesome to witness. It is what makes this camp a family. Everyone knew how much time, effort and dedication our actors put into this production and we couldn’t be prouder of everyone who performed tonight. Bravo to the cast and we thank you for putting on quite a fun show tonight.

There is nothing quite like camp traditions and this one is on the top of the list. Girls Sing is the ultimate camp tradition on girls side. Girls have been practicing for days and the pride each division has for making it great is unreal. For days now, you see groups of girls rehearsing their dance, perfecting the moves and memorizing their songs. It defines Chenny and there isn’t a girl on campus that isn’t fully engaged with this event. The big night is tonight and from what we see, the show will be a night to remember. We love everything about Girls Sing!!!

GC/CIT Boys Tennis – CAW 2 vs. Wayne 3

The night was all about Girls Sing and it was INCREDIBLE. It is a summer favorite and defines our camp tradition and spirit. Each division worked so hard on their dances and songs and it showed. When boys side can sit and support girls side for 2 hours, you know something special is happening. The support boys side gives girls side is just breathtaking. From our adorable freshmen through our crazy talented  and passionate CIT’s, they all brought the house down. I could never bring justice to describing the bonds these girls have with one another but watching them up on stage perform together allows us all to witness it for ourselves.  It is a true sisterhood that will stay with each and every one of them throughout their lives.  Each division picked a theme, danced and sang from their heart and soul. The emotion that was felt by every single camper and staff inside Shield’s Hall could have moved mountains. There were chills upon chills as each division wrote and sang their alma mater to an audience that listened to every single word.  They held hands and did it together and this is why the bonds are so tight. This shared tradition creates memories that will never fade. They will sing their songs for years to come and will never forget a word.

Congratulations goes out to the Inter girls for winning lower camp Sing this year. It was Inter the Pride Land as their Lion King theme was a huge hit. Hakuna Matada to these amazingly talented girls. The emotions that happened as the CIT’s took the was unreal. From the first dance to their alma mater it was all about our 2019 CIT’s. They won for upper camp but the honor of winning wasn’t the highlight. Their connection to each other, the beautiful friendships that they have nurtured and the respect and love they have for one another was center stage tonight. As we all watched this unfold in front of our eyes, you couldn’t help get emotional and cry with joy to watch these amazing young women perform together for the last time on our stage. What a night it was and to bear witness to this long standing camp tradition of Girls Sing was an honor.

Now matter where each girl will go in their life, being a part of Girls Sing helps define their youth. They wont forget the songs they sing or the themes they chose. No matter how much time passes and how many years go by, Girls Sing will always stay forever in their hearts.

It was brunch day and we all loved the extra sleep. The pace of camp is fast and furious so when we get to sleep in we all love it and today was that day. We rolled out of bed at 10am and headed into the Lodge for a very delicious brunch. Then it was off to activities and a full day of crazy Chenny fun. The campus was buzzing between Chenny’s Got Talen Finals tonight and Girls Sing tomorrow night. There is so much going here and  everyone is involved. You just gotta love camp and you gotta really love Chenny. This place where your children spend their summers is full of so many things happening you can go form one incredible activity to the next in the matter of moments. It is truly one incredible place we all call home and with only 2 more weeks to go, we are getting it all in and enjoying every single minute. Life is just great here and we have 14 more days to live it up at Chenny and that is what we plan on doing.

All  of our finalists took the stage and performed their heart out. They were fearless and phenomenal. They engaged us and entertained us. They were just brilliant and tonight was all about our talented kids. After all the finalists performed, the vote was in our campers hands and tonights winners went to solo singer Sami Miller. We are so proud of every one of them that took that stage and gave us their hearts tonight as they sang with confidence and poise. What a night we all had. It was just another perfect Chenny night!!!

Conflict resolution happens daily here and those moments and opportunities present themselves and allow your kids to practice this incredibly necessary life skill. If we could hand our children confidence or gift them the ability to resolve conflict with ease and effectiveness, we all would but being presented these opportunities truly are how our children learn the how to navigate harder moments in their life. There isn’t a day that goes by that kids don’t practice this necessary skill and I was blown away when a group of girls came to me needing some help. A few girls were upset and felt their friends would leave them to hang with the boys during free play and they truly didn’t know how to relay their feelings so they needed support. I gave them some guidance and told them to speak from their heart but communicating is the only way to make this better. The nerves were high as confronting is hard for anyone let alone for kids who spend 10 months texting rather than talking. They wanted me there to help start the conversation and this amazing group of girls sat in a circle and shared how they felt. They started by saying how important they are to one another but they felt left behind and sad about it and the girls were overwhelmed with support and understanding. They had no idea that their actions of hanging with the boys during freeplay would cause any distress in their friends so with communication came understanding, with talking came empathy, with being honest with how we feel brings our friends closer. I sat back and watched and was amazed how this group of girls spoke form their heart and worked through an issue that was a huge mountain at the beginning and became a seamless stream of empathetic conversation that brought these girls closer together. That is how it happens. Given the opportunity, your kids step up and get through the moments they fret with grace and dignity. Life skills at work here that will be embedded in your kids for the rest of their life.

We participated in the Lokanda Cup Hockey Tournament – CAW went o for 3 but had a great time.

Our Supers got back from traveling throughout Boston tonight exhausted and exhilarated. More than the places they visited or the things they did, it was traveling together as a group that made this trip so special. All of these kids have been together summer after summer and to get to experience these past four days as a true summer family traveling to amazing places helps create the bonds that ties them together so tightly. They come back to camp more connected to one another and that time alone just with their division creates something incredibly special that  just cant be denied. Campers may come to Chen-A-Wanda for the stuff thats here when they begin their sleep away journey but they stay because of he friendships they make and develop summer after summer. This trips success is a testament to how powerful these relationships are and it only gets better from here.

Tonights evening activity was Soccer-amma Boys Side vs. Girls Side. This is a our staff soccer game under the lights and the spirit was high. the game was intense but equally as awesome was the dance halftime show, the giveaways throughout the entire game and all of camp breaking out in the biggest zumba party you could ever imagine. Girls side was victorious with a 12-8 win over boys side but we all were winners as this event was just a blast to be at.

So tonight we are all in and our house is full again. Campers are safe and sound back in their bunks, exhausted from a day spent well and are sleeping peacefully knowing that tomorrow is late wake-up and Brunch day. We all need that extra sleep and happy to have a few extra zzzzz’s.

When I refer to us as a family, I am truly not exaggerating and need to share what happened today that is the perfect example of why we are all so deeply connected to one another. During lunch today, the kids were loving eating the most delicious meatball subs when I we heard from our travel Director that was with the GC’s on their way back to camp, they would be rolling into camp in 10 minutes. I started sharing that news with some Head Staff to get them in position to greet our GC’s as they rolled back into Chenny after their amazing trip out West. Well, what happened next, took my breath away. Kids were hurrying and rushing to finish their lunch so they too could greet the GC’s. All you heard throughout the Lodge was, “The GC’s are back.. Hurry…we have to meet the bus when they get back to camp.”  There was such an excitement and eagerness for our entire camp family to welcome our GC’s back with open arms, it was just incredible to witness. They were welcomed with cheers and hugs, they were embraced and missed. From the freshman to the CIT’s, they all wanted and actually needed to be there when they came back home. And when those kids came of the bus, it felt like a part of family was right back where they should be. It is always great going away on vacation but there is nothing quite like coming back home. The relationships we create are real and strong and stand the test of time. It was a special moment and I am always so grateful to get to watch the beautiful things your kids for one another all summer long.

Our Supers are still on their trip through Boston and they are loving their experiences on the road. They shopped and ate and experienced Boston in all of its glory. There were Duck Tours and Harvard Yard, shows and more. They are just loving this trip and having the absolute time of their lives.

We surprised our incredible CIT’s today with a mystery trip and as they began their day, we had them running throughout camp following clues and hints to what might be happening… or or what might not be happening. With each passing clue, they got more confused and more excited… The anticipation was building and at 2:30pm, we finally brought them all into the Chen-A-Plex and announced that Yes, TODAY is the day for their mystery trip. We started playing a One Republic song and they went nuts.. They had exactly one hour to get ready for a summer concert at Montage Mountain and they were beyond excited. Screams, and cheers could be heard all throughout camp. They ran to the Hill, got ready and off they went. A night they will not soon forget. They danced and sang and were arm in arm together under the stars listening to music with their best friends by their side. It was a magical night and we were so beyond happy to give this gift to our incredible CIT’s as they are two weeks away from their camper years coming to an end. Their journey has been a remarkable one and tonight was definitely the cherry on top of this amazing summer.
