Where's Your Camp Home?

Great Escape, of course, is held at Camp Wabasso.  A great place for winter sports, as well.

It used to be at Camp Favorite, on Cape Cod.  That's where my daughter first learned to sail.  A fabulous place to take troops in the spring/early summer.

I went to Cedar Hill, as did my daughter and generations of other girls.  Can't count how many troops I've taken there as a leader/encampment director.

Maybe you float your boat at Camp Runels?

Which one of our GSEM camps is your home?  Virginia, Edith Read, Winnetaska, WIP? Rice Moody or Maude Eaton? Menotomy?  Somewhere to dream about as the snow starts to fly....

(thanks to the GSEM Waltham Store for lending me these shirts, which BTW are on sale for just $5 next week....)

Taps

As you know, at the end of camp it's tradition to retire the flag and sing "Taps."  Here's a virtual "Taps" for Great Escape 2014.  

Here's a nice photo from Jen from Sunday morning - the fog was just burning off as she walked to the dining hall for breakfast. 

Sunday morning breakfast was amazing, wasn't it?

 Milk, juice, coffee, tea, cocoa, bagels, pastry, oatmeal, french toast and sausage.  Don't you wish someone would cook for you every Sunday?  Our GE cooks got up early that day and this cooks'  parade proves it!

 Most of the photos posted in the last two weeks were taken by our roving photographer, Louise.  Thanks for your good work!  Isn't this one lovely? 

Until the next friendship circle, Goodbye Girl Scouts!

Hasta la vista!

Last Swimming Day of 2014?

 It's rare that nature gifts us with a warm day so we can swim at GE but to prove that we take our motto (Be Prepared) seriously, we include swim suits on our packing list and try to have a lifeguard on hand.  This year we had two - Binx and Ariel - and so those who wanted to frolic in the cool waters, were able to take a refreshing plunge!
