1982

Jenny Belote Wells

I started my camp experience as a staff brat at age 6. My mother was the camp nurse for one, two week, session and my brother John (then called Andy) and I each stayed a week. I'm the youngest of 5 and all of my siblings had been to camp before me, so I was destined to become a faithful Alumni. I loved my first experience with my mother and couldn't wait to become an official camper.  continue reading »

My dad, The Rev. Alfred C Martin (Mom - Diane) had 9 children and sent us all off to Chanco. 1971-1976, I was a chaplain's brat staying in the chaplain's hut while Dirck and the older sibs were at camp.

Chanco Spirit...

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 »

Wow... just wow...

I ran across this site in April, and was completely blown away. I'm thrilled to see the site, view the photos and read up on so many friends. Hats off to Greg Willis for putting this site together. It is wonderful to hear from so many folks I remember. I hope this message finds you all well and smiling most of the time.  continue reading »

Hello!

I was so happy when I discovered this site about a year ago. It's fun seeing more and more people on here and seeing names that I know, especially people who went to my church. I still randomly sing camp songs and Chanco has a very special place in my heart.

Good grief,

Looking at the pictures of Danny, Marion, Greg, Caroline and countless othes whose names I can't connect to the correct faces is daunting and fabulous, simultaneously.  continue reading »
