The final day. Plaques are up, boys are packing, a big afternoon game.
In the evening we will have our Chip Ceremony. Goodbyes and chips in the fire. We will miss our awesome campers when they leave tomorrow. We know they go home with many lasting memories.

The gentlemen of Birch Rock were beach bound on this sunny morning. With the best weather this week so far it was a beautiful day at Scarborough beach. We all enjoyed some body surfing, boogie boarding, and plenty of beach games. Footballs, frisbees, and volleyballs were whizzing by all over t

What a great last Saturday at the Rock! We had regular activities in the morning with kids working on badges all over campus. A group of campers wandered across the street for a Zen nature walk with Dave Weeks. We did have one major moment in the morning when one Dylan S completed his Whale sw

Can Summer Weather get any better? We had campers doing Duck, Loons and a Seal by Toby. The Senior Campers leaped out of the van with pride and tired soles from a great 4 day hike through the Presidential Range of the WM. Senior Counselor Dave Weeks and Gabe returned to camp with another group

Today was made epic by our Supercamper of the day, Nick C. Nick swam around the perimeter of the lake to earn his Whale badge in a time of 1:59. It took him under two hours. JUST AMAZING! He really is super.
