I hope that you are all having a great holiday season. The countdown to camp really begins now in earnest. As many of you are aware, registration for 2011 has been extremely strong which is great news for camp - a clear sign of health in difficult times. There are two struggles that come with such robust registration though. First, people often get the impression that camp is full just because some sessions and/or age groups are full. While we are certainly full in many age groups (in fact there are substantial wait lists in some cases), we still have lots of room in other areas – particularly in the younger age groups. Second, several children that have been long-time campers didn’t get the weeks they wanted. I have drafted a letter to these families to explain how this can happen in great detail. (Click here to see the letter if you are inter- ested). In short it happens because our returning families by themselves are expanding the number of weeks that they want and we are at the pro- grammatic and legal limits of our enrollment capacity in most cases. We are working hard to find ways to serve all those families that are on the waitlist, and we will continue to keep you apprised of our progress. On a related note, I would like to thank all of the volunteers that helped out at Camp Combe this past year. We got an enormous amount of work done and were able to serve more families, and we were able to do a better job serving our existing families because the work you all did. Again, thank you. You made a tremendous difference. Parents Night Out Saturday Jan. 15th 6:00-10:00pm Strong Kids Car Show Sunday May 22nd CAMP COMBE the crier WINTER 2011 Making snow angels during vacation camp

REMEMBERING SUMMER 2010
HEALTH & WELLNESS AT CAMP COMBECamp Combe is dedicated to offering valuable wellness programs for teens and adults in the off season. We hope to offer the community an opportunity to relieve stress, to exercise and become more active, and to achieve a better quality of life!
Yoga is an ancient, self-empowering prac-tice that utilizes a wide range of tools to enhance well-being and to maintain and restore health. It has also been shown to improve moods, have a positive effect on concentration and memory, and can provide strength and endurance.
There are no pre-requisites are required to begin practicing yoga. Yoga is for everyone, irrespective of age, gender, belief system, cultural background or ability.
Our 75 minute classes run for 10 sessions and are taught by instructor Mia Azcue. Mia is a certified in the teachings of Krishnamacharya Healing. She is a member of the Yoga Alliance and the International Association of Yoga Therapists and is the owner of River’s Edge Yoga in Garrison
If you are a high school student or you know one who is looking to get in shape or stay in shape then our Fitness Boot Camp Program is the right choice! Fitness boot camp mixes callisthenic, body weight, in-terval, and strength training so there is an opportunity to tone, lose weight, increase flexibility, and increase endurance.
This challenging program offers physical results as well motivation and support from peers, no matter what shape you begin the program in. Our trainer, “Chocolate” Char-ly will challenge you to push the limit and progress further than you believe is pos-sible.
