The energy here at Camp Robin Hood is absolutely soaring! Our action-packed intercamp tournament schedule is going strong across all courts, bringing out incredible team spirit and sportsmanship. We’ve been blessed with beautiful, amazing summer weather that makes every outdoor activity pure magic. Off the courts, our campers are building real-world life skills—learning teamwork, resilience, and the power of true camaraderie that will serve them long after summer ends. The excitement is building every single day as we gear up and prepare to welcome our wonderful parents on July 18.

Hello CRH Parents! I hope all is going well!

Here at the Realm we had another jam packed and fun day, filled with intercamp tournaments, out of camp trips, and pontooning to the main lake!

The morning started off with trips quite early, as our 15 and under girls soccer team headed out at 8:15 AM to take on several other camps at Kenwood Evergreen. Our girls not only brought the trophy back home when they won the tournament, but they were also dominant in the process, going undefeated in every game they played! Additionally, the Tumblers and Jesters competed in a play date at Birchmont where both groups played soccer, bombardment, and gaga, against girls in their opposite age groups. Yet again, both groups of Robin Hood campers took home silverware, going undefeated in the process. It was truly an incredible day for girls camp intercamps! 

Here at the Realm, we held not one, but two basketball tournaments, one for our 15 and Under boys and another for our 13 and under boys as well. Both groups fought incredibly hard, and showed incredible spirit and sportsmanship in the process. Unfortunately, both teams came up one game short, as they both suffered the same fate, namely, losing in the final game. Despite the loss, both teams enjoyed themselves immensely, and were happy to be competing at a sport they loved at the highest level camp has to offer. It was truly an incredible tournament that was both planned and executed by our athletic director: Scott Rimer. 

Outside of camp, we had two groups taking mountain trips today, namely, the Quills in the morning and the Squires in the afternoon. The Quills hiked up Green Mountain where at the top, they got to look out at the beautiful scenery from a lookout tower. The girls said that while the hike was difficult, they had a great time doing it together. In the afternoon, the Squires took a hike up Rattlessnake Mountain, where they got to see the same view that is actually featured as the cover image on our camp video. The Squires had a jam packed day, as in the morning, they got to take a pontoon trip to the main lake, where they swam, and played a variety of games in the sandbar. Speaking of pontooning, when the Jesters got back from their victory over Birchmont, they too got to pontoon, and the girls told me they couldn’t have had more fun. It was truly a great day for them!

The day ended with an unbelievable dinner and dessert, where we had fried chicken, potatoes, and cauliflower, and finished it off with ice cream sandwiches. We saw some great evening activities taking place as well, where the Jugglers and Tumblers battled it out in Gaga, the Squires practiced their volleyball skills, the Bards, Scribes, and Lancers all got to do some swimming, and the TPs, Friars, and Foresters, joined forces for some boys camp bonding. Of course, nothing beats the sunset’s we have at camp, and the one after EA tonight was truly amazing. 

Thanks for reading!

Take care, and until next time,
Cooper

Amazing parents of the Realm, today was an incredible day filled with the usual smiles, laughter, and excitement of CRH. We started the day with the usual Lazy Sunday breakfast buffet and let the campers have a well-deserved slow start. After an amazing holiday carnival and long-awaited cooler temperatures, camp returned to regular activities and fun. Following breakfast, the Lancers headed out for a hike where they enjoyed some group bonding time and gorgeous views of the White Mountains. Here on camp, our sports’ teams were in full action as the boys basketball team continued to prepare to take home another win when we face West End again later in the summer. Additionally, campers and staff across ages began preparing for our annual camper-staff tennis tournament as the bracket will be posted shortly. Excitement for our beloved So You Think You Can Dance was in high gear as well with every group working tirelessly to perfect their groups’ routine. Though we finally returned to regularly scheduled programming today, we ended the night with Sunday campfires where boys’ groups did skit night and the girls received their Secret Summer Sister. As is tradition, the girls have already begun giving their SSS hints about their identity. Camp ended the night by screening the Mexico vs. England game to the senior campers in the barn. Overall, the day was a major success, and we are absolutely loving the sunny summer so far. It is unbelievable to think we are already half way through the first session and have begun preparing for your visit. As always, thank you for trusting Robin Hood!

Happy Independence Day! Today marked the 250th birthday of the United States, and what a celebration it was here at Camp Robin Hood. From the moment our campers woke up, the Realm was a sea of red, white, and blue, and the excitement never slowed down.

A huge thank you goes to our Saxons and Scribes, who transformed the dining hall with incredible patriotic decorations. Breakfast was the perfect way to start the day, with delicious waffles topped with whipped cream, fresh strawberries, and blueberries, setting the tone for a festive Fourth of July.

The morning was filled with our regular activities, giving campers the chance to enjoy everything they love about camp before everyone gathered together after lunch for one of the highlights of the day—our annual Fourth of July parade! Seeing every group dressed in their patriotic best, cheering each other on, and celebrating together was a wonderful reminder of the spirit that makes Camp Robin Hood so special.

After the parade, campers rotated through an afternoon packed with classic summer fun. The beach was transformed into a beach party, the Quad featured delicious ice cream generously sponsored by Cosy Corner, fortune tellers, and face painting, while the Barn became a carnival filled with games like Plinko and clown toss. Over at the Home Run Diamond, campers cooled off with our dunk tank, slip-and-slide, and sprinklers—much appreciated on a warm summer afternoon!

To top it all off, everyone enjoyed a carnival-style dinner before heading off to evening activities, ending another unforgettable day together in the Realm.

Goodnight from everyone here at Camp Robin
