Lots of camper sermons start out with something along the lines of: the first time I stepped off the bus onto Camp Towanda, I was scared. It was a strange new place, filled with people I didn’t know yet, and I was without my family for the first time. My experience, however, was a little different. I had been raised on stories of camp for my whole life. Thanks to encouragement from my father, my brother, and my sister, I was more than ready to hop on the bus and go. I was excited for the weeks to come, with activities and sports, talent shows, trip days, Olympics, and of course, making new friends.So, for me, the last time I stepped

off the bus onto Camp Towanda, I was scared. It was my final year as a camper, and I knew that after the summer, I might not see some of my friends for a very long time. And though this fear has been plaguing me from the beginning of this summer, I have since come to realize that it has also helped me to appreciate the

EXPERIENCE, WISDOM, APPRECIATIONEthan Kripke, a 2nd generation Towanda-er, completed his Club year, is currently in 10th grade and will be back in the future as a counselor!This past July, Ethan wrote the following reflection as his sermon to the rest of camp. Watching Ethan grow up at camp, following in his Dad’s and older siblings footsteps, while paving the way for his younger sister, and entertaining us with his drum

skills, made so many of us very proud; indicative of his friendships with his fellow Club brothers.

summer even more. It motivates me to have as much fun as possible while I still can, and to be the best I can be to the people who have been a huge part of my life for seven whole years.In these years, here at Camp

Towanda, I have learned many lessons that I have used and will continue to use throughout my life. In this respect, camp is just as important as traditional schooling. At camp, you learn how to take care of yourself and gain personal independence, while also learning and appreciating the value of trust and teamwork. Camp is a place where you understand that friendship is one of the strongest bonds on Earth, and can over come any challenge. These types of lessons are never taught at school, yet are seamlessly integrated into the daily life of Towanda, helping you learn from your experiences, whether they are mistakes or successes. That’s the beauty of camp: no matter the activity, you’re having fun while also learning, even if you don’t realize it at the time.

One of the most important lessons I have learned throughout my time at camp is to live in the moment. While it would be easy to spend my days reliving the past or only worrying about what is to come, I would find that my summers become less enjoyable, and some important experiences would pass me by. In the end, the advice that I have to give to the younger campers (of which I was one) is to cherish the “now”—not the “then”, or the ‘will be’, and to fully appreciate things as they happen, because before you know it, they will only be fond memories.

As we approach JANUARY 18, 2014, which 2-time 2nd generationer, Samantha Ross, as the official keeper of the Camp Towanda tipping point time clock, indicates is the exact balanced date of number of days since camp ended till the number of days until camp will restart, it allows us to reflect and look forward……Although you have your own reflections, some that I can still recall include, in addition to all the activities, inter-camp games, evening activities, special events and more and more are: From seeing everyone at line-ups, dancing in the mess hall, on the surfboards in the lake, entering the amphitheater to great music to The first 10 days of camp we had a thunderstorm every afternoon followed by 3 weeks of an average of hot & humid 90s. The Goat Alert Alarm system was activated for the goats (actually the horses named chipmunk and donkey), rabbits and chickens (who are now producing at least 4 eggs a day). The Feng Shui of the CIT girls. Trying to convert from the old wooden outdoor tables to testing the poly recycling wood tables and chairs (a big and not easy consideration). How many Porch and outdoor Buffet breakfasts? How about the Olympic scenery (from the faulty cloning factory to the fun graveyard of zombies and all the shredded paper on the floor)! They “…started at the bottom, now we’re here…” shouted the C –L- U- B, while the CITs responded with a “we started at the bottom and now we are back”!’ The bird dropped during Girls Sing, just moments away from possibly wrecking the Dorm’s appetite!; Those scary clone pictures. The CITuation. Yo-Yo class (Dan will be back for more in 2014). Did anyone ever eat the gefitile fish and matzo supply that is in the Canteen? Melton Levine pronouncing “TMF”= Too Much Fun! Mitch still owes B-3 a story! The YES girls from the Dillies. The Root beer Mug Club from the Wayne County Fair. And, of course, More Tiki Barber Lollipops than you can eat. That WAS part of what WAS; As for TIPPING towards the upcoming summer of 2014; the 92nd year of Camp Towanda and our 25th year as Owners and Directors; well, WHAT’S NEW will be in the next issue of The Towanda Times!!!

Happy New Year!

Generally Speaking by Jared ReiterThe intensity of the summer is at its peak. You can taste the break in the air. Everyone is on edge. Then suddenly the lights go

out. The horns blare. Is there anybody out there?Throughout the year we live 10 months for 2 with Towanda always on our mind. Sometimes at camp it seems as if we live the summer for the five days of Olympics. The Olympics of Camp Towanda are unparalleled to any other event. Campers

and Counselors alike compete, in good spirit and sportsmanship in red and blue and for Red and Blue. Everyone’s best shines through. Everyone gives it their all. Everyone has an impact. Everyone’s fire burns.

However, none of it would be possible without the teams’ leadership. Twelve counselors are appointed as Generals based upon several qualities. A general is someone who leads by example, who is a role model for both co-counselors and campers.

Generals represent hard work and stamina. From Breakout till the Dorm alma mater, for five days they must make sure all the pieces of the Olympic

puzzle fit together seamlessly. Tired is not a word in their vocabulary. Passion fuels them; the GOC* at their core.

Each year brings a new team of leadership, a new fire to Olympics. The stage for 2014 is set. The Olympiad is calling. Is there anybody out there?

(Editor’s note: or will there be?)* Derived from a unique Towanda term, 4DaGock or translated to

“For The Good Of Camp”

Making Sense of Camp TowandaEven if you could not make it to one of our reunions (Fall Foliage BBQ or the recent NY Lucky Strike reunion or the upcoming Florida Beach party), you probably can still sense why people often say that Towanda is not just a CAMP, it is a FAMILY. In fact, a few parents mentioned to me at the recent reunion that Camp Towanda is not just a camp, it is a lifetime experince!

At the reunion, there is an overwhelming warm, frenetic loving camaraderie, coupled with a strong sense of confidence, growth and appreciation. Being part of Camp Towanda naturally nurtures friendship, respect and development.

If you had a chance to read Ethan Kripke’s sermon on the cover, you can sense that a normal day at camp consists of sports, activities and events that create what on the surface appears to be what camp in general is supposed to be about; BUT, the truth is LIFE AT CAMP Towanda is so much more.

The opportunity of experiences is what we are about. The good with the bad, the challenges with the easy stuff and the ups with the downs; is really what happens. Learning to grow up, learning to handle different situations is WHY our campers and staff unwittingly appreciate and feel that Towanda is special.

One usually doesn’t realize what they have gained until after they are have left camp. Parents usually don’t see it until after their child has grown up.I feel that our slogan might need to be “Camp Towanda: Don’t try this at home!” (Hey, that could be a t-shirt or I was thinking for a t-shirt: Cell Less, Camp More)!Dealing with homesickness, a friend who is not acting like a friend, a frustrating game, a burnt pancake (I made that up) or just about any other disappointment in the supportive atmosphere of Towanda is a privilege. After all, all that, balanced with the laughter, intense fun, inside jokes, creative conversations and over all goofy, being comfortable being silly stuff allow all of us at Camp, to build on the foundation that will shape who we will become. Not only do Ethan Kripke and his Club brothers get it, but everyone who passes through and takes a bit of Towanda with them, does, too.Camp Towanda is a happy place; Camp Towanda fortifies life skills and social skills and Camp Towanda is a family of support, care, friendship and growth.This is what I sensed at the recent reunion.
