Take The 2007 Surveys!

The campers and parents from summer 2007 are invited to take our short summer survey. Just follow the links below.

If you were a camper this summer, or a parent of a camper, please take just a couple of minutes to complete our survey. We are always trying to improve camp and your responses will help us find ways to make 2008 an even better summer than 2007.

Thanks!

"The Myth About Boys"

In case you missed it this summer, Time magazine ran an article called "The Myth About Boys" which refuted many recent theories, essays and articles describing the poor shape in which boys find themselves today. It was nice to see an article that echoes what I see developing at camp each year...a wonderful group of boys becoming young men. It only reinforces for me the validity of Chippewa's philosophy that strikes the right balance of structure, freedom and challenge in which boys thrive.

Back to Tulsa

The return trip from camp was as difficult as any, leaving while Cass Lake had a slight north breeze, sunny blue skies and a perfect temperature of 74 degrees. Paradise.

A few emails were waiting for me when I returned to Tulsa regarding dates. Good news for planning as the dates for 2008 have not changed from the 2007 dates. The website will be updated by the end of this week with the new enrollment information so stay tuned. In the meantime, be sure to check back here at the blog for frequent updates on Knutson Hall's reconstruction and other news!
