Bull Crew Goes Hard

It may be cold, it may be wet, but nothing is stopping this bull crew.  What's good Caribou Nation?!?!?!  The Bull Crew is almost complete as Al and Kirsty have arrived on the Bou late last night.  They just came off a year of traveling and seeing some Caribou people all over South Africa and Europe.  But as Al said to us today, "I just needed my slice of heaven in 2011 already."  Well he got it!!!!

Today... Bill, Raffa, and Transporter got into beast mode and cut 4 truck loads of wood from the new archery field. Al and Rotman got their Mr. Clean on and situated all the bunks. And Lori and Kirsty held down the office like there was no tomorrow.  The final piece to the Bull Crew, Bobby L., will be arriving on Thursday, and then we will be kicking on all cylinders.  Martha and Jerry say hi to everyone.   Keep in touch,  38 days and counting.....

Good to be Back!!!

YOOOOOO.... guess what.. Caribou headquarters has shifted up to 1 Caribou Way Winslow, Maine!!! Oh you know it,  and for the first time we're writing the blog from the Bou,  YAHHH LETS GET IT.  As we speak, the bull crew is bringing the peninsula back to life and gearing it up for another epic summer.  The current crew is our legendary tennis pro and overall beast of a human, yes beast and human put together, Raffa, our wilderness trips extraordinaire and the real transporter, Dan Harris, our Maintenance Director and jack of all trades, Frank Siekierski, the one and only Lori Lerman, Bill "Kid Lightning Lerman, and "Make it Rain" Rotman. 

The Bull crew is doing big time work... but the biggest story line of the pre-season is Caribou's new archery field.  Bill and Frank have been cutting down trees and leveling the land off for the newest addition to the Caribou peninsula.  It's coming along real quickly and we're all real excited!!! 

On Monday, Kirsty and Al will be heading up to the Bou to roll up their sleeves and join the bull crew.  Then late next week, Bobby Badlands Lerman will be making the journey from LA to Caribou to round off the pre-season crew.  We can't believe we are 41 days away from things starting up.  Tear up the rest of the school year and see you guys real soon!!!

Camp Caribou Fundraiser

Oh what a weekend that was!!! Caribou hosted a fundraiser car wash at Liberty Pizza in Wayland, MA this past Sunday in support of the "Save the Children of Japan" organization and the efforts of the American Red Cross disaster relief for those in need after the Tornado Outbreak of last week.  The Caribou car washers were in full force: Tyler Swartz, Adam Block, Mitch Kaufman, Max Lobel, Charlie Rotman, Henry Forman, Jay Maxwell, Jack Long, Lucas Long, Dylan Hyde, Cam Hyde, Parker Dow, Sam Cohen, Alex Cohen, Bill, Martha, Lori, Jerry and Rotman all came out for a great cause.  

Adam Block, while washing a SUV, was quoted "This feels really good to know that we’re helping those who are suffering in Japan." Tyler Swartz who was one of many giving 110% on the streets of Wayland promoting the cause  said, "It felt great being part of this great cause.  Coming together with my camp friends and helping other kids around the world made me realize that we really can make a difference.” 

The day couldn't have been more perfect with the sun shining and loads of Wayland residents coming out in big way to support these great causes.  In this two hour event, we raised $500 dollars for the children of Japan!!! And it doesn't even stop there as Caribou will be matching the proceeds and donating to the American Red Cross - Alabama Disaster Relief Fund.  Though this couldn't have happened with out the big support from  Liberty Pizza,  we want to give them a big THANK YOU from the entire Caribou family!!!

We even had special guests come by... Alumni Derek Brisson, Ben Damm, and Eric Goldberg (GOLDIE), thanks for coming out guys and supporting the Bou!!

It was great to see everyone out there yesterday.  We hope everyone is doing well, keep in touch, tear up the rest of the school year, and do big things. Bou-Yah
