Ali Lockwood

I am a mother and teacher in the Richmond area.  I have two adorable boys and an *adoring* husband of 13 years.  I teach middle school science and YAC at our church.  I'm always encouraging the kids to go to Chanco so it can change their lives!

Mike Stallings

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.

Mike Terry Is Still Alive

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 »

Sarah Davis Long

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 »

Bishop Frank

I was slow to get the news of Bishop Frank's passing. I was in his small group at Senior High that year. Since the first time I met him his has had a special place in my heart. I still have a picture of us with our braids on cross dress night. I also have a picture of him when he confirmed me the following spring. When I heard the news, my first phone call was to Mike Stallings. Mike, too was in my small group so many years ago, we have remained close friends. Mike and I were in each other's weddings, he even walked me down the aisle.  continue reading »

Bruce Martin

It's hard to imagine that so much time has passed since I last visited Chanco.  The only stories that I hear of Chanco now are from a niece who attends every summer and who hopes to someday serve on staff as a counselor.  It's nice to know that the Chanco experience inspires as much excitement in this generation of Chanco campers as it did my generation.  continue reading »
