It is day four and it\u00a0 feels like we have been here forever, and I mean that in a good way. The kids have fallen into the camp routine in every way. They are all starting to sleep later which is great for them and their staff members. We no longer have any new campers as all the groups are beginning to act like a huge extended family. Everyone now has a CRH story to share and feels like a part of the entire community. Always one of my biggest pleasures is watching the kids come together and form a family. Most kids are pretty nervous when we meet in the offseason. Seeing them work through the new adventures here at camp is very rewarding.<\/p>\n
Of course it is my staff that deserve all the credit. A large percentage of them have been at camp for three weeks preparing for our summer. The new staff have gone through the same transition and are now part of our community. Our 18 group leaders 14 of whom have grown up here before our eyes and the remaining four who joined us during the magical Covid summer of 2020 are leading their groups beautifully. They form the key engine in our leadership team. They spend 14 hours a day caring for and making sure your children are both safe and happy.<\/p>\n
In spite of the near constant threat of rain it has been our best opening we have had in 20 years as owners. It feels different this summer in many ways. For me personally it is the addition of 30 more counselors and the limiting of numbers in most of our groups. We have less kids on the ground with dozens of more staff members to watch over them. Having over 250 Robin Hood summers on my administration team is the perfect recipe for success. We are not only colleagues of mine but life long friends.<\/p>\n
