Just wanted to post a few last minute details regarding the Alumni Reunion.  It really is right around the corner now!

For those of you who have not paid the balance in full, we will only be accepting cash or check at the reunion.  Make sure you have your checkbook or wallet on hand!  Also, make sure you have cash available for the 50/50 raffle as well as 40th Reunion merchandise.

Several of you have asked if this is a BYOB event.  We will supply a couple of kegs, and if/when they run out there will be beer available for purchase from the dining hall.  Of course you may also BYOB.

The Fall Fest, sponsored by the Chanco on the James board, begins Sunday at 12.  There will be hayrides, zip lines, boating and a silent auction.  If you plan on staying for this, there is a $3/person or $10/family maximum fee for barbecue lunch.  Please call Stacey in the office 757 294 3126 and let her know you are coming (even if you are registered for the Alumni Reunion) so that they have enough food for everyone!

And last but not least, there are still a few spaces available,  If you haven't already, there is still time to register!  continue reading »

The reunion is right around the corner. Hard to believe that it is so rapidly approaching, and in true Camp Chanco fashion, we have had a flood of registrations in the last two weeks. Loads of folks I have not seen in years are coming, as well as a bunch of people I have yet to meet. It will be nice to have some new stories instead of me regurgitating the same one over and OVER again! There are, however, a few names I have yet to see on the list, and you know who you are. There is space left in the chalets but the conference rooms are rapidly disappearing. Do not let staying in the chalets discourage you from coming, they are actually quite nice and the weather will be perfect, no matter what it is! "Oh the Lord is good to me...“ So jump right in and sign up to be there! Remember, if you have ANY problems or reservations that might keep you from coming, PLEASE contact me at tater@chancoonce.com and we will do whatever it takes to get you there!    continue reading »

Thanks so much to all of you who have registered!  We realize there has been some difficulties downloading the pdf registration form, but it should be working now.  If you haven't already filled this out, please do so ASAP and email it to Jenny Alfano at jennyalfano@gmail.com.  If the form is not working, please email her anyway and let her know what accomodations you would like for the weekend (conference room, chalet, or bring your own tent), how many people  continue reading »

Here's the deal: per our contract with camp, we need to have enough people registered by September 15th to raise $5000.  This will guarantee that we have Camp all to ourselves.  If registration is not high enough to cover this amount, we are still going to have an amazing weekend, we just may be sharing the space with wide-eyed spectators.  Although we are over halfway full, we are not quite at this goal.  If you are waiting to register, PLEASE DO SO NOW!  If we lose any of this coveted ground to others, room availability may drop off drastically.  The conference center rooms are going the quickest, which means that if you'd like to stay where all the action will be, you need to get your name in now.  continue reading »

So, I was just sipping some coffee and reminiscing about last years reunion and man, am I ready for this years! It is coming up fast and I am very curious about who is coming. So I said to myself, "Self, why not ask on the website to find out ." Myself relpied, "Great idea. You are a genius!" (Myself does not get out much and views me very much through a pair of severely rose colored glasses. Myself is also somewhat delusional. I have decided to find it charming.) So, without further ado - Who's coming? Post below and let me know. (Evan, I expect your name to be first!!!) And if you haven't registered, DO IT NOW! We need to fill up this joint quickly. And as we know from last year, space went fast. Click over this very minute and register. This is YOUR weekend and I want you all there! Then come back to this post and tell me who you are bringing. Call everyone you know who was there last year, and then call the folks who were not and light a fire under them, and do not take no for an answer. What are you bringing for crazy hat lunch? Who is going to be the medicine man for Indian Night? Will there be a FOG rolling in off the tranquil James? Are we too adult to still play winkem'? Let me know. Myself and I are dying to find out!

 OVER THE BLUFF WE GO!!!
