I'm so excited. I just got off the phone with Tater and signed up for the reunion, Can't wait to see how all you Chanco Warriors have aged

So here's something different. I decided to lay off the typing for this one. Click that little play icon (maybe twice), turn those speakers on, and give a listen.

And here's that link.

We've got GREAT plans for the Alumni Reunion on October 10-12

to celebrate Chanco's 40th Anniversary!

A lot of people have made reservations to be there!

Are YOU on the list?

There are a limited number of conference rooms and chalets left,

so make your reservation TODAY!

Don't wait or you will miss the biggest Chanco alumni event EVER -

(we’ll lose the Manor House and other conference areas to other groups if space isn't filled by Sept. 15)

**CCAA Membership is NOT required to register for the reuinion or to attend

It is strange… yet laughingly normal to have been reading all the bios and blogs about people I remember so fondly from the rather (ahem) distant past. A Chanco Alumni Association has been formed! It seems long overdue, but I suppose we needed to need it in order to form it, right?  continue reading »

Isn’t 2008 an Olympic year…okay is it not also the 40th anniversary of Camp Chanco

If memory serves 1988 was the 20th anniversary – there was a reunion and ironically a closing Eucharist at the original site in October (I still have a copy of the Eucharist program)  continue reading »

Hope the summer is treating everyone well. Just wanted to remind everyone to get out your calendars right now and save the weekend of 22-23 Sept. Go ahead, get out that calendar -- I'll wait.

Okay, it's the Chanco Fall Weekend -- otherwise known as the Chanco reunion weekend. It's a Saturday - Sunday affair, starting Saturday evening. I've chatted with Boomer and there will be rooms available that night for about $50 -- take that, Super 8! Registration instructions will be coming in the next few weeks.

So what's going to happen at the reunion? Why, whatever you want to happen. Think of it as Anything-Goes-Day, Big Day, Indian Night, and Crazy Hat Lunch all rolled together - with you a whole lot older.

And I also want to take care of a bit of business, since we'll have us all there. We need to organize and formalize a Camp Chanco Alumni Association. I think it's long overdue for us to get official -- it'll help us reach out to folks who haven't yet found this website. And it will help in doing some fundraising for Chanco.

So I'm gonna keep harping on this throughout the summer. Reach out to the folks from Chanco you know, and threaten them with sanctions if they don't show. Lets make a good showing. If you like this website, you have no excuse to not come.  continue reading »
