Putting Trash In Its Place

Jun 12, 1994

The Regis Applejack Recycling Program is entering its third season, and our commitment to recycling is evident throughout camp, from the specially-labeled dumpsters to the official camp toilet tissue (recycled paper, of course!) Counselors and veteran campers will work together to help new campers familiarize themselves with the program so that recycling becomes a habit with everyone. We take pride in the comprehensiveness of our efforts; at Regis Applejack we...

Three New Lodges Open For 1994 Season

Jun 5, 1994

For the past several months, the denizens of Camp Regis Applejack have been serenaded by hammers, saws, drills and grinding gears. When the “music” stopped, our grounds boasted three new buildings, and a renovated playhouse. The new additions – Rainbow, Pathfinders, and Timbercrest Lodges – will house Regis campers and Apprentice Counselors respectively. The Playhouse now has a raised stage and a center curtain that will enhance summer productions. In...

Sunday Morning Meeting

Jul 8, 1977

By Katie Weisman Sunday morning meeting is a time once a week for thought and discussion. It is a time for quiet. Its purpose is for the campers and counselors to share their feelings openly without being embarrassed or ashamed. Some of the topics we chose this year were guilt, giving and receiving, goals setting and reaching, and leaving places. I think that out of all these topics, guilt was...

There were 3 buses. Two from N.Y. and one from Westchester. Some of the kids from Westchester had to get on the bus from New York because there wasn’t enough room. : The bus ride was about seven hours long, with one half hour stop in the middle. Most people talked, joked around, read comic books, and reminisced, After a while, the trip got boring and we were dying to...
