Family Camp. Why Should Kids Have all the Fun?

Join us at Camp Champions from  March 12-15 for a long weekend with all the excitement of camp!

Why should kids have all the fun? Bring the whole family and experience camp like you wish you could have when you were a kid. The days are filled with activities including waterskiing/wakeboarding, ropes course, climbing wall, kayaking, tennis, archery, pickleball, group gaga games, pool play (with our 2 fantastic Schlitterbahn waterslides at 150 ft each!) and other lake activities. If any of this sounds too strenuous, you can choose to sit on the over-the-water gazebos, gaze at the view and watch your children kayak or water ski. Evenings will be celebrated with fun activities, live music and camp food like you’ve never had anywhere else!

For more information, please visit http://championsretreat.com/default.aspx/MenuItemID/271/MenuGroup/_Home.htm. We hope to see you at Family Camp!

A Beach Thanksgiving

Here is a belated post that I meant to put up a week ago!

Over the Thanksgiving break, the Baskin Family was lucky enough to spend a week in the Virgin Islands.  Since we do not get to travel together during the summer, we always try to do something special some other time.  This year, Susie Ma’am’s mom and dad hosted a sailing trip (they are talented sailors).

I only tell you this so that you can understand the photo.  Our family hopes yours had a lovely Thanksgiving!

BVI Happy T-Giving

I Love Our Community! or How Facebook Won Me Over.

Before last year, I was not the biggest Facebook guy.  Over the last year, however, I have joined (been pulled into?) the Facebook Nation.

At first, I did not really get it.

Over the last 3 months, I have really become a fan for several reasons.

First, our Camp Champions Fan Page has been adding members like crazy.  It is so much fun to keep in touch with the campers and families that we love in the non-summer months.

Second, we have started to use it to find our alumni.  We are looking through old yearbooks and reaching out to former campers from the early years (1967-1975 so far) in a hope to build our alumni community as well.  When Susie Ma’am and I bought the camp in 1995, we had essentially no alumni records and we have always longed to get in touch with former campers.  Whenever former campers visit camp, they love it – sometimes spending 1-2 hours looking through old yearbooks!  We want to share this excitement with even more people.

As a result, we have started to post old yearbooks on Facebook as well.  Well, actually, we have only done one so far.  If you get a chance, check it out at http://www.facebook.com/pages/Marble-Falls-TX/Camp-Champions/169523977814.  If you like it, please let us know so that we can add more pages.

Finally, I had my first “Facebook Birthday” this week and was so pleased to hear from campers, counselors, parents and even some high school friends. What a joy to connect with so many wonderful people!

Here is a quick picture for you from the birthday festivities.  I am usually pretty good at convincing myself that I am still a young pup, but this shot kinda made me see that I am getting up there.  Susie Ma’am decided to put ALL 45 CANDLES on the cake, broken into one set of Trojan Blue and one set of Spartan Red.  The effect was a pretty scary flame.  Check it out in the picture!

Until the next blog, I hope to hear from you on Facebook!

Welcome to our new blog!

We are excited to introduce our new blog feature!

This summer during camp, we introduced our first blogs and heard great feedback from our camp families.  In the blogs, I attempted to share what it is like to be here at camp in an environment that is full of fun, love and laughs.

Camp is such a odd and wonderful place.  We have songs and traditions that punctuate every day that make complete sense to us, but are absolutely foreign to others.  We are passionate about things that pulse with importance here, but mean nothing beyond the Spur at our front gate.  I have been in a room with our 25 person leadership team having a highly animated discussion about the best way to vote for the Most Outstanding Counselor for the week.  Occasionally, I will sit and wonder what my friends from my investment banking days would think of such a discussion.

We also shared the adorable stories and odd observations from our campers.  We would also share camper and counselor triumphs.

With camp resting for the non-summer months, we have decided to share with our community year-round.  We will not do so on a daily basis, but we plan to keep you in the loop on our plans to make 2010 even better than 2009!
