Hello all… The smell of warm apples and cinnamon wafting thru the air reminds me of Fall. This wonderful Apple Crisp will delight more than just your sense of smell. This isn’t your basic Apple Crisp with butter and flour as a crumb top. The mixture we will use here has oats in it and makes for a much heartier crisp topping. […]
Chief Ockanickon and Princess Mtollionequay are getting ready for Medford's Halloween Parade this Saturday! They have plenty of candy for everyone. Looking forward to seeing YOU there!
Sunday afternoon wrapped up our first annual Father / Child Adventure weekend here at camp. What an awesome way to conclude (almost) our Fall season here at camp! We could not have enjoyed ourselves more as we had 50 families brave the cold to join us. While I got a chance to hang out at boating, archery, and the climbing wall, the highlight of my weekend was the closing campfire Saturday night. After we all had s'mores, the remaining families stuck around to finish the campfire with a stick dedication, a rare occasion outside of summer camp. Thank you to [...]
Fall is my favorite season - especially with how beautiful Camp looks with the leaves changing colors. Be sure to come out and cheer for Camp's Float in the Halloween Parade this weekend on Main Street in Medford!
Helle all… Today we have a classic cold side dish that you can serve almost any time, anywhere… Macaroni Salad. […]

Just had a great day playing outside with Neeta's 6th Grade class! The rain can not keep these kids down. Everybody is happy and energized for another awesome 6th grade trip. Tomorrow - me and James take the kids out to the challenge course for some games and "the swamp." It's going to be awesome!
Hello dear readers… Here’s another one of my favorite soups to warm your insides on a cool Fall day. […]
As some of you might have noticed, today was our fall Roll Up Your Sleeves or RUYS. Unlike our traditional RUYS which has been a full weekend in the past. This weekend’s RUYS was a single day. We would like to thank all the families and Horizon Health Care for coming out today to help us clean, paint, plant, and repair. In total, we had around 40 people come and volunteer their time to help make camp a little cleaner and a little better. Interested in our programs? Please head to www.ycamp.org to find out more about or programs.
