Camp Caribou Fall Update



Hey Caribou Nation, we hope this blog post finds you well and enjoying your fall season. We just had an amazing Boston Reunion at the Boston Sports Club in Wellesley.  Campers and counselors from all over the east coast came in to reunite, reconnect, and get excited for the upcoming summer. We played loads of basketball, had an epic match of dodgeball, competed in a couple rounds of laser tag, enjoyed some great pizza, watched the 2014 picture slideshow, and handed out the 2015 "Livin' the Dream" reunion t-shirts.  We want to give a massive shout out to all who came to the reunion,  it was great seeing everyone and we can't wait for 2015 at the 'Bou!

Here in the Caribou Winter office, we have been very busy gearing up for the 2015 summer. Bobby has been meeting with loads of new families in New York, Connecticut, Baltimore, DC, Philadelphia, and Los Angeles.  Rotman has been putting the 2015 staff together and has seen a ton of guys wanting to return from last summer, BOUYAH!  Bill and Martha are doing great and have made a couple trips up to camp.  Up at camp the leaves have fallen, but the peninsula is looking great and our full time maintenance directors, Mike Day and Eddie Thompson,  are constantly making improvements on the facilities.  Lori sends her love and tons of hugs to the entire Caribou Family! Ellie is now 11 months old, crawling all over the place and has recently started day care where she gets to sing and dance during music class.  Ellie is definitely going have to share her talents at campfire this summer!
