We are counting down to 2020 all month with top moments from Summer 2019. 💙💛💙💛 Baco/Che-Na-Wah Director, Barbara Wortmans favorite memory from 2019 was the very 1st day. She said: There is nothing, absolutely nothing, like seeing those buses pull in on the 1st day of camp. You have finally arrived. Ten months of hard work goes into 2 months of fun, and it’s all worth it when I see your beautiful wide smiles. Even if it’s raining, you bring the sunshine. There’s nothing like watching you barrel off your bus, and find your counselors that have been in camp waiting for you. It has been a long awaited homecoming, and it’s so amazing to see everyone back on familiar ground. Camp is buzzing again. The sound of your voices echoing throughout camp is like music to my ears.. The doors are slamming, and camp is alive again, just as it should be. 💙💛

We are counting down to 2020 all month with top moments from Summer 2019. 💙💛💙💛 The Apache Relays in both camps were INCREDIBLE. A favorite activity for many, where every person in camp has an important role in the relay. They were seriously races at both camps this year, filled with sportsmanship, spirit, and some record breaking moments. Listen to the Apache relay podcast episodes if you’re a little camp sick today to catch up on the 2019 races 💙💛

We are counting down to 2020 all month with top moments from Summer 2019. 💙💛💙💛 Another top moment from 2019?! BIG SHOW 🌱🌿 Gathering in the social hall to see the waiters and waitresses production from the summer is always a favorite. What was your big show/what year? Comment below ⬇️⬇️

We are counting down to 2020 all month with top moments from Summer 2019. 💙💛💙💛 Two Words. The breaks. Blue & Gold / Olympic breaks have been some of the most memorable moments in Baco / Che-Na-Wah years, and the breaks in 2019 did not disappoint. Fish people coming out of the lake? One of the Pratt siblings acting as an agent trying to close camp after a meteor problem threatens the area? Classic.

We are counting down to 2020 all month with top moments from Summer 2019. 💙💛💙💛 Another top moment from the summer were the tournaments. Baco winning 12s, 14s, AND 16s 🏀 was incredible to watch and so much fun. But winning wasn’t the only best part. Who could forget the halftime horah, or the halftime counselor shootout to WIN early morning OD?! Moments when the whole camp comes together to cheer our teams on are truly incredible and one of a kind 😎💙💛

We are counting down to 2020 all month with top moments from Summer 2019. 💙💛💙💛 Another top moment from the summer is Che-Na-Wah lip sync. ☔️Che-Na-Wah girls are truly the most creative, and this camp favorite rainy day activity always shows it. ☀️ The sun even came out for performance time. 💙💛

We are counting down to 2020 all month with top moments from Summer 2019. 💙💛💙💛 We asked our Senior Staff what their favorite moments were. 💙💛 Camp Che-Na-Wah camp mom, Jen Beitel Friedman said:
My favorite moment of Summer 2019 was “Run Down.” 💙💛 Just hours before the blue and gold sing all the girls lined up by bunk, held hands and skipped down the front lawn. Together, all the campers lowered the flag. Blue and Gold wasn’t over, but for the moment the competition faded away and everything that is perfect and magical about camp became clear. And of course, we took a million pictures!

We are counting down to 2020 all month with top moments from Summer 2019. 💙💛💙💛 We asked our Senior Staff what their favorite moments were. 💙💛 Camp Baco Program Director and Head Counselor, Greg Silver said:
One of my favorite moments that happened this summer (and a magical camp moment every summer), is when the calendar changes from Tennis Ladder Season to Baco Divisional Tennis Tournament Season.
A wise man once said, "YES BRUNO! I CAN MAKE A RUN!!!" Who is that wise man? It's all of us! You would think, that after 35 years of being at Camp, I would have nothing left to learn. But this past summer, I had an epiphany! It was that sacred night in Council Ring, when Bruno announces the Baco Divisional Tennis Tournament...everyone in camp can feel the energy, not only because of the brackets being posted, looming for all of us to dissect as we rush to the Tennis Shack after dinner, but also because we ALL realize, that the summer has taken a turn into the 4th quarter, (or "Winning Time," as Magic Johnson refers to it). As Bruno was giving his heroic, inspirational speech "YES BRUNO! I CAN MAKE A RUN!!!," I realized something I had never realized before-- The Tennis Tournament is NOT just about Tennis. It's about the camp spirit, the human spirit, of always trying to be your best self. Whether or not you are a "Seeded Player" or expected to do better than someone else at Tennis or anything else in this life...when you try your best, and when everyone in our magical bubble of Camp Life roots for you and encourages you, and cheers you on....YES, YOU CAN MAKE A RUN!
