Once my daughter turned 11, I knew it was time for her to have the experience of her life at summer camp! We live in Mexico City, with all the hustle and bustle of a large complicated metropolis. Unfortunately, Mexico City is not the safest city to live in, which means our daily lives are limited to enclosed spaces. Life is comprised of home, school, and the mall. As 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.

The Worlds of Music and Dance

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...

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...

We’re Getting Better — Not Bigger!
Mar 11, 1994
Mike Humes and Chris Gilliland have just returned from a trip to camp. Everything looked beautiful under 5 feet of snow (with a little more expected). The only way to get around was by x-country skiing or on snow shoes – parking at the back gate and skiing everything into camp! This wasn’t, however, a “vacation” trip – it was a chance to survey the buildings and docks to see...
