Education

Camp Regis Applejack is a large proponent of the importance of every type of education.

Being an 80 Percenter

Oct 17, 2019

Campers working on an ant village Let the Kids Surf (or Canoe, Hike, Swim, Paint, and Sing) In his book, Let My People Go Surfing, Yvonne Chouinard, the founder of Patagonia, refers to himself as an “80 percenter.”  Here he is in his own words: “I’ve always thought of myself as an 80 percenter. I like to throw myself passionately into a sport or activity until I reach about an...

Chopping Wood

Mar 15, 2019

I love chopping wood. I had a wood-burning stove installed in my fireplace a few years ago and it is really efficient at heating the house in the winter, but the delightful, cozy, “Hygge” feeling of a wood fire in the winter is only a small part of what I like about chopping wood. The whole process is satisfying across all the senses. As you can see from the pictures...

Why Camp Regis Applejack

Jan 23, 2019

As a parent, educator and camp leader, one of the topics I find most compelling is the importance of outdoor play to a child’s development and the strong negative impact that smart phones and technology have had in that area. Of course, technology plays an important role in our lives in 2019, but there are some flashing warning signs we would do well to pay attention to as parents and...

Athletics

Jul 17, 1994

The Athletics staff is looking forward to an active summer in a variety of acres, from soccer, softball, basketball, and volleyball to cricket, archery, and lacrosse. Heading the staff are two experienced teachers, Michelle Minnis and six-year staffer Don Lasko. Joining them are Bill Steinhauser, a soccer specialist from Oregon/Washington, and Don DeSaw, a New Jersey teacher with an interest in numerous sports. As a special addition, Ichi Suzuki, a...

The Arts

Jul 15, 1994

Welcome campers, to Camp Regis Applejack’s Arts & Crafts corner. We have a lot of creative fun planned for the summer and can’t wait for all of you to get started. A few groups have already completed coil/pinch pots and have moved on to papier-mâché masks. Campers, however, are not the only ones learning crafts; quite a few Regis ladies have taught us counselors how to macramé bracelets. We invite...

The Worlds of Music and Dance

Jul 7, 1994

Music is a new program here at Camp Regis Applejack. Many campers and staff alike brought their instruments with them and seem to be really enthusiastic about participating. We have strings, percussion, woodwind, and yes, even brass. We all hope this music program can bring new enjoyment to all members of our camping community. Regis kids! Cardinal Laurie De la Baume and I (dance instructor Linda Rappaport) have been putting...

The Missing Motor Boat

Jul 5, 1994

By Connor, Ted, Chad, Glenn; Cardinal II Boys One foggy morning, a motorboat went out to sea. There were four passengers and they were going to go fishing. One of the boys carted the fishing pole, and right when it hit the water, he felt a hard tug; and with that, the boat tipped. All the passengers went under, grabbed by blue hands. The blue hands pulled them deeper and...

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 Programs Returning to Camper Activity Schedule

Jun 4, 1994

This summer, the campers’ already ambitious schedule of activities has been expanded to include gymnastics, photography, and music. Over the course of the season, every camper will be evaluated by gymnastics coach Mary Heit. “I think gymnastics is a fun way to develop agility and coordination; confidence and competence. And the kids seem to really enjoy themselves,” said Mary. The newly renovated Playhouse Garage is the site of our darkroom...
