Caribou Updates Everywhere!

 Hey Guys, we recently sent out a newsletter to all your parents, but we wanted to update you on what's going on at the 'Bou.  Things are rockin' n' rollin' at the headquarters.  Camp has officially been winterized for the winter.  

Staff News: Damian who was the final guy to leave the 'Bou is now in DC hangin' out with Talia and seeing some camp guys from the area.  Currently Damian is chillin' in Rockville with the Voyta's.  Unfortunately he's experiencing the governmental lockdown and can't see any of the museums.  And you know Damian, he's a big historical loving guy! In other staff news, there's been an English invasion into Australia of Willcox, Oli, and Southall who have all moved there and plan to live in Australia for the coming months.  I'm sure they will meet up with our Ski Director, Ryan Scott, and other former Caribou staff members.  CoCo has recently moved to Chicago and is absolutely loving life in the windy city!  Al Harding is doing massive things in South Africa.  He's been riding his motorbike, working for Tecworks (fixing computers), hitting the gym, taking short walks on the beach, enjoying pony rides in the sand, and catching up on Modern Family.  And last, but certainly not least, Ross Grant has been hitting the books hard and trying to get a degree in Sport Science.

Camper News: Ben LaRaus, who has been a one man wrecking machine on the football field is playing safety and receiver for the Fox Lane Middle School.  Henry Davis is playing travel soccer for the Met Oval soccer club and absolutely tearing it up.  Sam Mikesell is playing for the Red Devils soccer team at defense and recently started middle school!  Alex Sutton is having a great start to the school year and is playing goalie for MSC Villa club team.  Blake Aviv is doing all sorts of things and is playing tennis, basketball, and chess! Get after it Blake.  If you have any news please let us know and send to info@campcaribou.com.

Post Camp, Reunions, and So Much More

What's up Caribou Nation, we hope all is well and everyone is enjoying the start of the school year.  Caribou headquarters is officially back in it's winter office and we are officially gearing up for the 2014 summer!  We want to thank all of our post season groups that came up to camp this summer, The Brookwood School, The Bancroft School, Fenn, and The Maine Outdoor Women.  We had a tremendous time with each group and we hope to see them all next year.

Things are now pretty much wrapped up at the 'Bou.  Damian, Jerry Wentworth, and Mike Day are the sole guys from the post season crew left at the 'Bou.  They are currently remodeling bunk 10 and winterizing the entire camp for the upcoming season.
So, now we're off and running with the 2014 summer.  Mark it down in your calendars, the Boston Reunion has been set for November 3rd, 2013 at Fun & Games for some classic arcade action then off to the The Verve -Crown Plaza for lunch, great times, reunion shirts, and yearbooks!  Please let us know if you are able to make the reunion by emailing info@campcaribou.com.

Things have been rockin' in the Caribou office, we just received the CMCL 2013 Caribou Championship banner!  Bobby just came back from New York meeting with families interested for next summer.  Bill is at camp helping out Damian and Wentworth remodel Bunk 10.  And Martha, Lori, and Rotman are holding it down in the Caribou headquarters working on making the summer of 2014 EPIC!

For our Caribou parents, we found two great articles about summer camp through the American Camping Association blog.  The first article is about "What Camp Teaches Children" and the second is about "Signing up for Camp."  Check them out!  We have had a strong re-enrollment for next summer and if you would like to save a spot today you can do so by clicking on the following link: Camper Application

Keep in touch, have a great fall season, and see you guys at the reunions!

Caribou Post Camp 2013

Hey guys, we hope you're enjoying the end of the summer season!  Things have been rockin' up here at the 'Bou!  We just came off a week long pre-season football camp with Wayland High School, Wellesley High School, and Tyngsboro High School. It was back to the grid iron for all three teams.  The week included loads of practices, the Caribou ropes course, the aquazip, chilling on our new waterfront trampolines, a campfire, tremendous meals, and a scrimmage at the end.  We had a great week with them and we wish them all the best this upcoming season.

The post camp staff (Southall, our Waterski Director Ryan Scott, Oli, Willcox, Alastair Harding, Damien, Kuba, Raffa, Bobby, Rotman, Lori, Bill, and Martha) all have been working hard on cleaning up camp and getting things looking even better for next summer.  One of our projects is revamping bunk 10, as seen in the first photo!

With everything going on at camp, things are definitely not same without all our campers and staff.  We miss everybody and hope that everyone has a great start to the school year.  Keep in touch and we'll see you guys at the fall reunions.  BOU YAH

Caribou 12U Baseball Invitational

On the brand new little league diamond, Camp Caribou hosted their annual 12U Baseball Invitational today.    Caribou Grey and Camp Androscoggin both battled to get to the championship game.  In that final game, Caribou jumped to a massive start scoring ten runs in the first inning, BOUYAH!  However, Andro was not going away quietly, as they scratched and clawed throughout the 6 inning game.  But with timely hitting of Jacob Savitz, the shut down pitching of Will Dubin, and the flawless defense of Nate Sherman, Caribou came out victorious, 10-9!!  Congratulations to all the Caribou guys who competed in today's tournament.  They displayed great passion, teamwork, and sportsmanship.
