Jan. 2020

Dear Parents,

I hope everyone had a Happy New Year and is getting as excited as I am for Opening Day 2020. I cannot believe that there are only 145 days until we meet again at the gas pump. I have been crisscrossing the country to meet with new families and catch up with current ones. It’s always amazing to hear everyone’s stories about last summer and to share our love for all things Robin Hood. We are all so lucky that the Realm is our summer home. Meanwhile, we are full steam ahead preparing for the start of camp. Scott and Diane are busy hiring counselors for the upcoming summer while Michelle is coordinating plans with all our former campers to round out our great staff. Lizz and Katie are interviewing staff for our infirmary and office. No matter where I go or who I talk to, every conversation leads to one of the true things about Robin Hood: Our staff is the best in the camp business. This is not by accident and we work hard to make that happen. Chuck and Michelle are working on pre-camp agendas already. Our goal is to train each and every counselor to provide a safe and happy world for each and every camper. We expect them to invest 100% in the campers’ experiences. Jonas and Julia are already planning the color war break. I’m not sure how they will ever top last summer, but I’m confident that they will. The Busses have been ordered for Beach Day and excursions. Plans are cemented for our July 4th Extravaganza. And I promise we have some big surprises up our sleeves that I look forward to announcing in our dining hall! Just as we’re working to get your home away from home ready for you, you’ve got some work to do. Study hard at school, be kind to each other and everyone you come across, and say thank you to your parents for giving you the gift of Camp Robin Hood. Love, Woody 2019 Remember When’s

Founders Day How fortunate we are to be able to spend our summers in our favorite place. Meredith Friedman, Andy’s Granddaughter, joined us to help celebrate and even surprised camp with a Color Run Green and White fake break. A new tradition at Robin Hood, we ran from color to color before jumping into the lake for a refreshing swim.

Dance Parties Who doesn’t love a good dance party! Whether it was in the dining hall or the theater, you guys danced your way through summer. We can’t wait for the first dance party of 2020.

Robin Hood Gives Back What a busy day we had learning about Give Kids SYTYCD Kids The World, making bracelets and writing Speaking of dancing! You all rocked the letters to ill children. Andy would be so proud of stage with your unique dance moves our efforts to give back to those less fortunate and camp flare. than ourselves. GL Updates: Kendall Brown Where Are They Now?

Skiunion: RH Staff Mini Ski Reunion

In December some of the specialty staff got together for a “skiunion” in Bulgaria. They enjoyed spending time together, catching up on what is going on in their lives, shredding the mountains, and of course reminiscing about camp.

Have you had a mini reunion you would like to share with us?
