Camp Regis Applejack’s physical newsletter is called the Regis Review.
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...
Welcome back campers! Boating is excited to have you back and ready for fun in the sun. The sailing crew has rigged and repaired the Sunfish and JY 15’s to be ready for summer action. The O boat is out and set to be rigged; it still floats! Phil and Ashley are ready to develop a fleet of Sunfish and JY captains. Skiing instructor Scott, from Australia, had brought his...
So far, we, the boys of Eagles 2, have done quite a bit. Athletics, drama, music, boating are just a few of the activities that have been keeping us very busy. This year, there are 17 Eagle 2’s in Crescent Lodge East. We have two campers from Puerto Rico, one from Mexico, one from France and others from all over the country. Added to the camper population are our two...
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...
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...
By Dave Spicer, Falcons’ Counselor It’s early morning, about 6:45. I walk over to the showers, enjoying the peace and quiet. After a shower, I return to my cabin feeling great. Then I hear them: the bells, and more bells! All of a sudden, it’s not so quiet. Jason and Chris, my co-counselors, and myself are now in the presence of 27 twelve year olds. They’re running around brushing teeth,...
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...
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...
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...
The arrival of campers and staff from across the United States and the world never ceases to excite us, even as we begin our camp’s 49th season. We’re so happy to welcome all of you to our camp family. We are also excited about our capital improvement program at camp. The new buildings and the beautiful additions to our community, including the front entrance, the new flagpole at the beach,...
