First memory of Chanco was picking up my older sister from the old Chanco.  I remember seeing the ferry boats from the bluff and then they gave me koolaid.  Right then and there I knew I was going to be a Chanco camper when I grew up.

Camper from 1989-1995.

Counselor/Art/Outtrips from 1999-2003 and then "a voice from the past" aka Charlie called me in 2006 for a fun trip to West VA (the picture is still on the main Chanco website).

Now an Art Teacher in Northern VA, who'd have thought?

I would like to take the time to recognize a person who is a cornerstone of Chanco history. He has been a part of the camp and then conference center for years. He actually has the longest consistent involvement with Chanco with the exception of probably Charlie Hughes. His influence spans several decades and he has touched the lives of Chanco campers, staff members, parishioners in every convocation within our diocese, and far beyond.

 Bill Taylor started coming to Chanco as a camper/conferee in the early 1970s. He quickly gained a reputation as easy-going and fun-loving and was one of those kids who seemed to have found a true home among the people and programs at Chanco. This was the time in his life when he heard the guiding voice of God. Inspired by the clergy and community he experienced, Bill answered the call to devote his life to Christ as a clergy in the Diocese of Southern Virginia. continue reading »

I was one of the 5 'foreginers' that came to camp in summer 2006, I'm the tall, ugly, ginger english one. Without a doubt the best summer of my life

I was a camper from 91- 94, and initiated at one of the only Jr. High initiations... I took a break from camp for a few years, and then came back during college as a counselor, dance teacher, nature teacher, archery instructor, etc.... I pretty much covered all the bases.... I graduated from Longwood College (before it was a University) and have been teaching 4th and 5th grade for the past 7 years. Now I am on the Happening committee, and my am recently married to my wonderful husband Justin, who will be helping with outtrips this summer.   continue reading »
