Hey Tim: Stephen Brown here. I was a two-weeker for two summers, round about ’77 and ’78 if memory serves me correctly, although I’m not sure on the exact years; it was in that area, though.

I remember a bit of your story ‘The White Wahila’ (Thanks to Greg Forsyth for the reminder, and your end-line in the above post for the memory-jog.)

I was wondering if you might have a copy of it written down, and if so, if you might forward a copy to me. I enjoy ‘spooky camp lore’ stuff, and this is the one story that captivated me when I was still a little shaver.

I can be reached at firefishe@gmail.com.

Hope your summner is fun!
Warm Regards,
Stephen Brown

I looked through all Lee’s pics, amazing. Klondike days, the QHut, the fishing raft…….

Matt – Just looked through all the pics you posted as well. Wow, what a blast from the past. Wild to see the ones at almost the last page, looks like I was having a bad day! Great memories.
Look me up, I can be found on facebook and linked in living in Nashville nowadays.

I was looking at Photos and it brought back great memories. I was counselor in the summer of 1978. If you look at the photo of the group picture from 1978. I was tall kid in the back with a buzz hair cut. I spent 1 summer at the camp after high school with a good friend of mine Kevin. He is the other guy with a short hair cut in the picture. Maybe I will make it back up there one day.

Great Memories,

Phil Franz

We’ve had a week of fun Family Camp and are now gearing up for Diocesan Youth Camps. Camp staffers will welcome sixty two campers into camp over the next week. I believe there are still spaces for senior campers in the second week. Junior Camp/ CIT starts today and both sessions are nearly full.

I have been a camper/staffer at Camp Chick for the past 6 or 7 years. As a youth camper, LIT participant, CIT participant, program staffer and as a counselor I have had some of the greatest experiences of my life. Camp is a place where friends become family and the sad become joyous. Seeing a child find God is one of the greatest experiences of my life.

This summer I will be working as a Core Staffer and cannot wait to spread the news of Camp Chick and raise the bar to new and greater aspirations. The progress that this camp has seen in the past 5 years is astounding and the fact that I can help it continue in growth is exciting.

God Bless!

For the past 5 years, Chick has been a huge part of my life. I’m so excited to be part of a team that will push the camp to the next level and continue to spread love to the youth of our diocese and multiply our camp family from year to year.

As a past camper and counselor, another summer of God-Moments, old and new friends that in the matter of a week become family, and the insight of a youngster, offers the opportunity that I wanted to stay apart of; and now at an extended length! I can’t wait to set the bar so the camp can only escalate. I’m getting to that point where I’ve seen some of my campers grow up from year to year, and my hope is to offer them, and all campers, their own camp experiences that will guide them on their own spiritual journey. Perhaps, they will want to be counselors and offer that same opportunity.

ps. Thanks to all those who came to Work Weekend. It was exciting to meet and talk with new people that have dynamic connections to camp! keep on commin’!
