The Camp Cobbossee crew recently returned from the American Camp Association’s Tri-State Camp Conference. This conference is a 4-day event held at the Atlantic City Conference Center. Over 3000 attendees from camps coast to coast and around the world attend the event in addition to exhibitors from many different industries.

The conference included over 100 sessions specific to camp, children, staff and parents. As attendees, we had the opportunity to hear from many speakers and seasoned veterans in the camp industry. In addition, we also enjoyed the keynote speakers, Shawn Anchor and Henry Winkler (aka the Fonz or for the younger generations, the coach from Waterboy).

The conference was very educational and productive. We brought back many new ideas and suggestions on how to continue to make camp even better.

While at Tri-State, we also had the chance to go to the Annual SCOPE dinner. SCOPE, Summer Camp Opportunities Provides an Edge, is a foundation that helps underprivileged children go to camp. Camp Cobbossee is a proud supporter of SCOPE. Keep an eye out in our next newsletter as we will be talking more about how Camp Cobbossee and our camp community can help give back SCOPE and many other charities.

COBBOSSEE BOWL CHALLENGE

As you might have guessed, this World Series(Phillies vs Yankees) was a complete nightmare for me.  If you didn’t know, I’m a bit of a Mets fanatic and the icing on the cake after an awful season was seeing the two teams Met fans don’t particularly like playing each other in the World Series.

With that being said, I congratulate the Yankees on their WS win.  While I would have much rather watched the Mets, it was still fun to watch.

As for the rest of the Cobbossee Family, we know that many of you were at the games or watched at home.  We would like to highlight one particular camper, Bruce Doyle.  Second session campers will remember him as the Brave with the mohawk and his spectacular Group III baseball catch!  Bruce had the privilege of attending Game 6 of the Yankees game and was in a lucky spot when the cameras were snapping(see below):

Of course, we were happy to see that Bruce was wearing his Cobbossee sweatshirt for this momentus occasion!

Great job Bruce!  Next time we hope you catch the ball too!
