I am so happy to connect back with Chanco In fact working closely with tourists at the beach for many summers whenever there is a mention of Chanco I can't help but smile and then frown a little and say "I miss Chanco...". What a magical place to be every summer growing up from age 8 all the way to age 17 when I was priveledged to be a counselor. I learned many things at Chanco and it is the part of the reason I am a teacher today! continue reading »

Hello Chanco Friends,

I'm so happy to have found this site - better late, than never, right?!  I was a camper every summer from 1992 up until Senior High Conference in 2000.  I was also a part of Happening weekends from 1998-2001 through EYC (St. Thomas, Chesapeake). continue reading »

I'm Holly Long, and I'm still trying to figure out all of the years I was at Chanco! I went to the resident camp for several years, went to one senior high conference, and also attended a couple of October Weekends at Chanco. I followed my cousins Lori Long, Darren Long, and Cari Long (now Hall) as well as my sister Jennifer Rush (now Winn) at Chanco. I had some of the best times of my life at Chanco (even met my first boyfriend there, and we were together for about 2 1/2 years!) but for some reason it's difficult to go back and remember what years exactly I went there. continue reading »

hello old friends and new,
I am a few years late in finding this page, but better late than never:)

I was a camper from 1990-1998, and EYCer from 1993-2000 (I was president 99-00), and was a part of Happenings 33-38.

I currently live in Los Angeles with my longterm boyfriend. We are finishing our PhDs in international education. I hope to graduate in a few months. In the past five years, I have lived between Latin America and here; I lived for about 2 years in Nicaragua. continue reading »
