The sun was out in full force today, and the excitement was palpable. Every corner of camp was buzzing with happy campers. From ATVs to gaga and everything in between, campers were all smiles, clearly appreciating a day spent outside playing with friends. We’ve been here for just over a week, and everyone has settled into their routine. Waking up to bugles and heading into the Lodge for breakfast in our pajamas feels like second nature, as if we’ve been doing it together for much longer than nine days. The day was as close to perfect as perfect can get. Seeing our campers engaged, happy, connected, and at ease fills our hearts with joy. We hope that the pictures and videos capture this story—that your children are engaged, happy, and thriving.

IT WAS A CIT SWEEP tonight and they deserved it. CIT Boys won for Plaque and girls won Plaque and Song. From their costumes, to their make-up to the most phenomenal dance we have ever seen here at Chenny. They were mesmerizing. This group of incredible young women blew the roof off Shields Hall. The work and effort they put into their performance mirrors their dedication and loyalty to one another and their campers. It is a group that came together so beautifully and created a work of art. They are the best of the best and deserved the Win. All so different and all so dedicated to this experience and now the campers they take care of. The tears were running down their faces as they came to the realization that tonight was the last Sign & Song of their camper career. It was a night they will never forget. Our beautiful CIT’s dominated the stage tonight and shared their love of Chenny with us all. Before the winner was announced, everybody in the hall was chanting, “CIT’s, CIT’s”. It was obvious to everyone who would bring home the W and this group of girls left their mark on that stage. What a way to start off their final year here as campers. It’s the beginning of the end and their beginning has been oh so sweet.
There is more to do, lots more camp to get to and we are here for it. We are living free and loving it!
