As most of you know, Lisa and I acquired Chippewa Ranch Camp from two wonderful Northwoods camp directors, Pamela and Tom Adler. Since that time, they have stayed on with us to offer their support and many years of experience. They have played a very important role in our lives, in the lives of our campers and staff, and the lives of so many who live all four seasons in the Northwoods. After more than a combined 50 years at Chippewa, Tom and Pam are moving on to the next big adventure in their lives – the acquisition of a girls camp in upstate New York!
It is a bittersweet time for the Chippewa community as we say so long to two people who gave their hearts and souls to the place we all call home – we are, of course, so excited for Tom and Pam. We know they will bring the same spirit of friendship and kindness to their new camp as they brought to Chippewa. I think we can all agree they are lucky girls! But at the same time, our camp community will certainly feel their loss. They will be missed.
For Tom and Pam, this new chapter in their lives is a little bit poetic really - More than 30 years ago, Tom came across a camp that would change his life and the lives of countless others who followed him there. Along with Pam, the two were the masterminds behind many hundreds of friendships created, many skills refined and many valuable lessons learned - all in the beautiful Northwoods of Wisconsin. And now they’re off to do it all over again in another beautiful part of the country, with another beautiful group of girls...
We would like to wish a very happy new beginning to Tom and Pam. And along with many others, we will await the sequel to Campingly Yours...
All best,
Cliff & Lisa
