I just returned from a full day of activities in the best location in camp, the music room above the boat house. I have the most beautiful view of the lake and the sail boats through my long, narrow window. I am happy because I even got the AJ II Boys singing today, partly thanks to the efforts of their counselor who sang a “Take Me Home Country Roads” version...

The sun is shining, the welcome banners are waving, the buses arriving…then the arms open up and the hugging begins. As campers embrace old friends and counselors embrace new campers; all the cabin groups head up to the dining hall for their first dinner, new friendships are already springing forth ushering in a new season. Welcome to Camp Regis Applejack Summer of 2001. Thank you all for allowing me to...

In Camp Regis Applejack, the surroundings are pristine and absolutely beautiful. Take a deep breathe and smell the fresh Adirondack air. But when the 7:30 am wake up bell rings its time to hear moans and groans from the Eagle Boys who want to sleep more. But once they’re awake with breakfast in their bellies, our Eagles soar to any occasion. Our group this summer has proven their worth and...

The Night Before Camp ‘Twas the night before the first day of camp the campers were home sleeping as their parents did pack and the counselors were preparing for Camp Regis Applejack. As the parents packed each child with care the counselors hoped they soon would be there. The children were nestled all snug in their beds while visions of water-skiing danced in their heads. Jim in his kerchief and...

The Robin Girls have a packed nest with seventeen campers, each one unique and diverse. The Robin Girls even have four campers joining them from Spain (A long trip for little birds!) The Robin Nest is also bursting with talent as well....

As B.J. has just mentioned, we...

Sixteen energetic girls living together in Crescent Lodge, along with two counselors. Some of their favorite activities are tether ball and talking to the cardinal boys.

The AJ II A Girls are a fun and enthusiastic group. Even though it has only been a week since we met, it seems as though we’ve known each other forever. No matter our differences, we have quickly learned to work together and learn from each other. We are always willing to try new and different things such as water-skiing, knee boarding, and canoeing. We have been mountain biking, sailing...
