Indian Summer 2011

Wednesday, September 28th, 2011

This past weekend we took our Collegiate and Teen campers back up to camp for one last visit in 2011.  We had a great time reminiscing about this past summer and all the fun we had.  We were grateful the weather predictions were wrong!  Although a rainy weekend seemed inevitable based on the forecast, the sun was shining in Roscoe all weekend long!

The weekend began with our campers boarding the charter buses from Long Island and New Jersey; everyone was so excited to be with their best camp friends one last time before winter approaches.  Indian Summer would not be complete without a bonfire and some sticky, messy, delicious s’mores! :)  On Sunday we returned some, tired but very happy campers to their parents who were waiting to greet them.

Check out the photos below of our Indian Summer 2011 weekend!

Counting Down the Days Yet?

Wednesday, September 21st, 2011

It’s school time again! Like us, you’re probably feeling a little sad that camp is over and school has begun. Back to the books & homework, counting down the days until we can come back to our summer home and all our great friends – both new and old!  So to help you daydream about camp, check out some of these great photo highlights and tune in to our YouTube video channel HERE to relive all your favorite camp memories!

Just like you wrote letters home during the summer, why not write letters to camp?  We’d love to hear from you!  Are you starring in your school’s theater production?  Did you make the lacrosse team?  Send us your updates to be included in a future blog post!  Submissions can be sent to letters@camptlc.com.

Before you know it, camp will be right around the corner again! Hey, it’s only 278 days until first session and 305 days until second session 2012!

End of 1st Session – White Rio wins Color War against Red Hong Kong!

Thursday, July 21st, 2011

1 – 2 – 3 – 4 – WE WANT COLOR WAR!!!!!!   Color War for 1st session was filled with excitement and lots of energy from both the White Rio & Red Hong Kong teams.  Break-out (The official commencement of Color War) is always in the back of our camper’s mind as days of “Fake-outs” (fake break-outs!) take place just to keep them on their toes!

The official break-out happened, and boy our campers were surprised!  Team lists dropped from the sky and campers prepared to compete against one another.  Stakes were high in events like Tug-o-War, blind-folded canoe race, egg toss and everyone’s favorite – an Apache Relay.   Sing Night came to a conclusion as the teams sang their alma maters (videos below!) and when all the points were tallied, White came out on top with only an 8.7 point difference!

We had such a fantastic 1st session with our campers!  We can’t believe how quickly time flew by!  We look forward to seeing all of our 1st Session campers again next summer :)

As we like to say: Timber Lake West campers get the full camp experience in just half the time!  Color War is certainly no exception.  See for yourself in the below videos and pictures! (Wonder how 2nd Session Color War will turn out…  Hummmm…..)

Camp is Now in Session!!!!

Tuesday, June 29th, 2010

At 1:15pm on Saturday, we were all standing in the Commons as 6 Coach buses slowly made their way around the circle of the Commons. The staff was clapping and cheering all the campers as we set off on this summer journey together. We all had goose bumps, our hearts were beating like crazy… Finally – the summer of 2010 has officially begun! It’s amazing that after 9 months of preparation, staff hiring, purchasing new equipment and remodeling projects, we’ve ultimately made it to Opening Day! (more…)
