Simply put, if you've been to Camp Chanco, it's for you.

If you need to know what Camp Chanco is, or where it's located, this site is not for you. Sorry.

What's here? There are photos to see, stories to read, and message boards to interact. But I hope that you'll take the time to sign up for an account and contribute. Not money, silly web person, but writing, photo, and whatever else you can come up with.

For it's not the camp itself that was and remains special, but the people. This website is a way to reconnect and remember the community and the friends of Camp Chanco. I hope that you'll see friends you've forgotten, read stories you wish others wouldn't have remembered, and get back in touch with friends you thought you'd lost.

I imagine the website will be of most use for those who were at camp a long time ago. With no MySpace or Facebook page, this can provide an online community for those a bit too old to bother with anything else.

If you think of another kind of content you'd like to see, drop me a line. Also, with the plethora of youthful indescresions that camp is prone to, is you read a story that you think is inappropriate, let me know. Not that I'll take it down, but I'll certainly take a look.

And I'd like to emphasize that this website is not related to or controled by Chanco on the James or the Epicopal Diocese of Southern Virginia. Yeah, stuff happens at camp that parents wouldn't be too happy knowing about. But that's what camp's about -- being away from the usual authority and having fun in the woods. So don't get too bent out of shape at what went on.
