Attended Chanco for 7 straight years, starting when I was 10 and continuing until the summer before my senior year of high school, when I was 16. Was initiated into Order Of Chanco in 1989, first year at the new camp. We had to have the big Indian Night ceremony in the dining hall due to the rain, but it was still pretty amazing. After that, Jr. High conference for two years, and Sr. High conference once.  continue reading »

 I was a chubby, pink-cheeked, dorky little camper with a weird English accent the first year I went to Chanco ('86) and was sooooo scared to be staying at this weird place in the woods (the OLD chanco... just to date myself a little)

Over the years, I came back every summer, and I got WAY cooler, Cool, heheh.   I even became a counselor on the waterfront staff from 1993-1995.    continue reading »

I just dropped off my 12 year old son for his first Camp Chanco experience at 3rd Session...a whole 2 weeks...and let me tell you, I have had an awful case of that green-eyed monster, JEALOUSY!!!!   I have repeatedly asked him if I could stow away in his footlocker for the past week.  I remember so fondly the excitement of that first day...who will I see??, who will be back this year??, what campsite will I be in???  what kind of fun stuff will I get to do???   Ohhhh the fun he will have!!!  He was even singing in the car on the way about how Mom didn't get to go as I laughed at him  continue reading »

What can I say. Chanco was one of the defining places in my life. I started as a camper at 10 and ended as a Councilor Archery instructor. But you never really leave chanco.

Hello fellow alums. 

 I was a camper back when muck mouth was a real impedement to flirting at free swim.  I somehow managed to avoid to avoid stepping on a clam shell until John Gulick and I did it simultaniously during Grunt week 1995.  I read on Blue Gums posting, that he thinks someone else tells his story better.  Well that may be true, but I am pretty sure that I have come the closest to actually catching children on fire with my special "White Gas Finale."  continue reading »

My grandparents gave me the fantastic gift of sending me to Chanco each year. I'm not sure if they knew just how important it was, but Chanco was an anchor for me in my teens when I moved around and changed schools a lot. Living in the DC area, I was always a bit removed from the Chanco community but visiting my grandparents' place in Williamsburg and Chanco each summer was like going home. I was Sarah Davis back in the Chanco days and would love to hear from any of my old Chanco chums.  continue reading »
