Staff Orientation Under Way

YOOOOOOO.... what's good Caribou Nation.  It's unreal we are 5 days away form camp starting.  Last Thursday the entire staff rolled in for Orientation.  Things started off with a bang with get to know you games and ice breakers down at the small soccer field.  Sergio stole the show with his ability to conquer the 50 yard scream.  For those who don't know the game, Sergio was able to run the furthest while screaming at the top of his lungs the.  Tough to explain but check this video out.

Yesterday, David Jack, the ultimate fitness guru himself stopped by the 'Bou and trained the Caribou Staff.  It was a grueling, yet educational, three hours of an insane fitness  Thanks Dave for a great morning, you're nuts, but WE LOVED IT.

Today, the Caribou Staff had the privilege of welcoming Steve Maguire, a motivational speaker.  Tonight, we'll be having bunk night and then campfire, its starting to feel like summer.   And tommorro, we will be putting on the final touches to peninsula.

OOHHHH... How could I forget. Tomorrow, Dan Nino and Kuba are arriving.  THE SUMMER HAS BEGUN... SEE YOU GUYS SOON.  BOOM

Caribou Nation.... start the countdown... 10 days left until the BIG SHOW.  With the bull crew wrapping up the final touches and gearing up for staff orientation, summer is finally here!!! It's been absolutely bonkers up here on the peninsula.  The porch is looking gorgeous, the new field is taking shape, the renovations on the lodge are complete, and everyone is getting hyped up for camp. 

We've got people rolling in all week.  Sue and Ron recently made the trek up from Florida. Anthony Bonaddio arrived at the 'Bou last night, lookin' all ready for camp, hasn't cut his hair since last summer, its a site to see.  Charlie and Nicole Rotman are next on deck to arrive tomorrow, then on Thursday the entire Caribou Staff will be 100%!!!

The summer schedule is taking shape, Cookie Bowl is in place, the Roundball Classic is back, Survivor Day is making a return, the summer olympics are in the works, and Colorwar can break at any moment!!!

22 days left until the Big Show

OH MY we're gettin' real close to when the summer really pops off!!! Things are rockin' up here in Winslow as the Bull Crew ain't holding nothing back.  With the new archery range, new lodge porch, infirmary and lodge renovations, and getting the peninsula looking like mid-season form, the crew is getting their groove on.  Quick side note: The latest Bull Crew jump off is "Party Rock Anthem" by LMFAO, its a ridiculous song, Rafa really likes it and currently is learning how to do the party rock shuffle.  The latest additions to the crew are JP and Damien Deminey, both are real eager to hit the ground working.

This past Memorial Day Weekend we had loads of people come and visit.  Martha, Jerry, Brian Hershey, Jeff Weinstein, Adam Fischer, and Levin-Ep all made the trek up to the 'Bou.  It was a jam packed weekend full of family, friends, home run derby, basketball, and good food. 

This upcoming weekend Lori will be heading to Skidmore for her college reunion,  There she will be meeting up with Joanna and Alex Kantor, two Caribou Staff Alums. HAVE FUN LORI!!!!! 

We can't believe we are 22 days away from camp starting.  UNREAL.  keep in touch!!
