Opening Night!

Hello Friends,

Lisa and I are thrilled to announce that after an (almost) perfect bus send-off this morning, camp is in full swing! The girls arrived to an (almost) rain free Chippewa and made (almost) great time getting here. Campers were taken on tours, given their initial health checks -YES LICE CHECKS (P.S. there was none), and were served an amazing dinner of spaghetti with marinara sauce and our famous Head Chef’s gnocchi and "pink sauce"! I'm feeling pretty darn confident that you’re going to hear wonderful things about the food this summer 8-)

After dinner it started to rain… so it goes. The good news is that things are VERY dry up here and we actually needed a good rainstorm, the bad news is that it came tonight. I wont lie- it kind of looks like the lake washed up 1000 feet beyond the shoreline. Another storm like this and we're gonna need an ark. I think I was the only one who really seemed to notice though! We still ran our opening night “friendship fire” in the Adler Lodge and had a great time. The girls are all tucked in for the evening and looking forward to a fantastic first day tomorrow! The weather is supposed to be great (77 degrees and sunny) and the campers are going to have a ball!

Lisa and I are thrilled to be able to take care of your girls this summer. We take pride in the experience that Chippewa provides, and are confident that you will receive some great letters this week! You will also receive a “welcome” email shortly highlighting your daughter’s counselors for the summer. Stay tuned for daily photos, Tweets and blog updates. We look forward to being in touch with you all soon!
All best,
Cliff
