Directors’ Message

Dear Camp Families,

As we settle into our routines of fall – school books, year-round sports, cooler weather – Summer Camp 2014 has become a not-so-distant memory. WOW! What a summer! We know that all of our girls begin the fall as different young ladies than they were at the beginning of the summer. Maybe they have gained confidence from climbing the Alpine Tower, learning to wakeboard, or learning to trot on a horse while posting. Some of them made new friends and gained a sense of accomplishment by taking care of their cabins and themselves for four weeks. Some Lassies came back to school with new songs in their hearts, and memories of Scout on the paddleboard, and Sadie fishing. Not sure who is missing CAMP more: the campers, the counselors, or Scout and Sadie. We definitely are missing all of you and wish you a wonderful and successful school year!

With the help of all the campers and counselors, Lochearn found the FUN this summer. We enjoyed every AMAZING DAY IN THE BEAUTIFUL STATE OF VERMONT!

The arts, waterfront, and sports fields helped shape our Lassies into greater athletes, stronger leaders, and kinder friends. We know that Camp friendships are the ones that last and sustain us throughout the years.

We want to thank all of you for being part of the 2014 Lochearn experience, and can’t wait to see you in 2015!

Positively,

Tony and Stacie

Look What’s New!

Alpine TowerThe leaves have started to fall and the sounds of the lake are so different without the laughter of happy campers.  The office is humming with phone calls and excitement of campers enrolling for the 2014 summer season.

The painting of the inside of the cabins is complete and the docks have been pulled.  The Alpine Tower looks amazing perched next to the pavilion.  What a great addition the tower and swing are going to be.

So what is this Alpine Tower?  An Alpine Tower is a climbing structure that is designed to give any aged participants a very unique and safe adventure experience. It is a fantastic tool for team building and for bringing cabins, staff, and individual campers closer together. It is also a great setting that fosters communication between our Lassies and also provides an opportunity to boost self-esteem.

The Alpine Tower is 50 feet tall and boasts both high and low challenge elements. The number of participants on the Tower can range from as little as 2, to as many as 36 at the same time! Some of the challenge elements are called The Corporate Ladder, The Missing Link, The Cargo Net, The Diabolical Karma Seat, The Dangling Duos, and many more! Plus there is an extra surprise. A HUGE SWING!!

With the seasons changing, enjoy the extra time with family and friends.
