Announcement of 2012 Summer Theme

Happy New Year from Camp Winnebago! This is our first ever blog and we plan to post them bi-weekly hereafter. As most of you know, every year we select a theme for the summer that guides us from camp preparation all the way through final campfire.

The 93rd summer of boy’s camp at Camp Winnebago will be the Summer of Virtue. What does virtue mean to you? Virtue conveys a sense of moral excellence without defining these values absolutely.  When preparing for camp this summer we will do so with inquisitiveness about what moral fibers we weave together to make camp an excellent, unique, dynamic, positive and friend filled community.

SOME ADDITIONS THIS SUMMER:
Due to positive camper and parent feedback about our small experimental garden located on the side of the kitchen (where each day campers and staff watched peppers, tomatoes, cabbage and a variety of herbs grow into mature plants) we have expanded the garden into the space between arts and crafts and the library. The garden will be part of the Nature program and also a regular Sunday sign up where interested campers will tend to and harvest the fruits of their labor for use by the kitchen.

Additionally, during our regular end of the summer meetings with the three oldest divisions, there was a strong desire for Stand Up Surfboards to appear at the waterfront. Get ready to stand up and paddle to Turtle Island, White Rock and the dam as they are already waiting for you!

We hope you enjoy a great start to 2012 and can’t wait to see everyone at camp in only 172 days.
