Top 10 Camp Movies of All Time

By YMCA of the Pines|2012-10-16T12:05:31-04:00October 16th, 2012|

So, Wes Anderson's Moonrise Kingdom was just released on DVD and Blu-Ray last week and as an avid movie-watcher of any sort, camp movies in particular hold a special place in my heart. I decided to share my Top 10 Camp Movies of All Time with the rest of the nation. And yes, this is the child-friendly list. We will leave Jason Voorhees off for now. 1. Meatballs 2. Heavyweights 3. Earnest Goes to Camp 4. Camp Nowhere 5. The Parent Trap (1961) 6. Moonrise Kingdom 7. The Great Outdoors (not really camp, but camping all the same) 8. Indian Summer 9. Addams Family [...]

Summer Camp 2013

By YMCA of the Pines|2012-10-13T07:33:32-04:00October 13th, 2012|

With the addition of session 6, a co-ed Resident Camp program held on the grounds of Camp Matollionequay, our new indoor sports court for Lake Stockwell Day Camp, the amazing new water inflatable which will be shared by all three Camps, an additional day of swimming for members at Cherokee Beach and our Pre-School Camp based out of Cherokee Beach, 2013 Summer Camp cannot get here quickly enough. It amazes me each summer how quickly 10 weeks can pass by, but I am constantly reminded that as quickly as each summer passes by, it’s going to arrive just as quickly. [...]

Still All Sorts of Fun Going on Here at Camp!

Hi All! It's been too long since my last post so I wanted to bring everyone up to speed on all the great things that we've been doing since the last campers left for the summer just five weeks ago. In that short time, we've seen over 1600 students come to camp with 25 different schools! We've had 5th, 6th, 7th, and 8th Grade Environmental Education trips, High School Retreats, Peer Leadership Groups, a variety of colleges, and even an entire Freshman Orientation with Stockton College. We've also had over a thousand people join us over the weekends for Family [...]

Two Choices

This is probably the most powerful thought of the day I have ever heard. I received this as an email forward about 10 years ago and we often use it before our Special Events day competitions. It usually takes 2 people to read it because the readers often get overcome with emotion. What a beautiful message! I hope you enjoy it. At a fundraising dinner for a school that serves learning disabled children, the father of one of the students delivered a speech that would never be forgotten by all who attended. After extolling the school and its dedicated staff, he offered a [...]

Hello all!! Here’s a great Corn Bread recipe that is simple to make and delicious addition to a hearty Fall meal. Please note, before you start making the recipe, that this style of making corn bread requires a cast iron skillet. I have not tested it in any other baking dish or pan. […]
