Greetings 02563 Family!

With the cold weather recently, we have really been longing for summer and thinking about our favorite place! We thought we would share some of our favorite camp traditions to help get everyone excited for the summer:

• From our mother the earth, to our father the sky…who doesnʼt love a good campfire?!
• The Swim test-donʼt forget to pack a swim suit!
• D-I-S-C-O Disco…inferno! Practice those dance moves (our favorite is “the Dougie”).
• Overnights. Is there anything better then mac n cheese and sʼmores?
• “Look at the stars, look how they shine for you…” Cape Cod stars shine bright!
• Singing in the dining hall. The Lord/World said the Noah…3 more times!
• Co-ed days. We love Burgess boys!
• Announce the teams right now! M&P is coming…
• ALA. Start practicing those acts!
• Cookouts. More potato salad please!
• Flagpole.
• All camps. Mission: Impossible.
• Loisʼ cookies. We want a kitchen parade and we want it now, please!
• Polar Bear swim…grrr.
• On the pontoon…jumping.
• Old Camp Burgess had a farm E-I-E-I-O
• Beach Day. Is the ice cream truck here yet?

And so many more! We hope this got you pumped for the summer! See ya on the waterfront!
