All is Quiet Again at Green Cove

Well, the days of “Wagon Wheels” in the morning, three majors a day, rest hour after lunch and falling asleep to the sweet mountain sounds right next to five of your very best friends are beginning to feel long gone.  The weather is getting cooler (although it is still pretty dry around here), and the days are already noticeably shorter.  I was so used to seeing white vans filled with singing girls that these big yellow busses are quite a change!

Yep, fall is here and it is QUIET at Camp Green Cove, but what a summer we had…
 I love remembering those crazy June campers…camp wide pirate day and seeing the fairy houses that they built twinkle in the woods on the night of camp fire.  Main camp was just as memorable.  I am filled with a whole different set of Main Camp memories.  The 6-day New River Gorge climbing trip, 3-day Nantahala Extravaganza paddling PARTY, the 12-Hour Biking Event, the first ever camp wide ‘This Aint Yo Mama’s Kick Ball Tournament’, the amazing horse back riding Final Event, TAJAR DAY, the sailing regatta and Luau.  Thank you to everyone who made 2007 a summer to remember! 

With camp over, Nancy Debbie and I packed everything from the Green Cove office and have already gotten set up in our winter office at Mondamin.  Rosie, Gus & Boomer seem to be adjusting well, but they sure do miss you all!  Nancy has been glued to her

 computer for the past couple of days writing each camper’s family a letter, and we’ve all been reading evaluation after evaluation, trying to figure out how to make Green Cove even better for next summer!

Believe it or not, we are already starting to get ready summer ‘08!  It’s a good thing because we have been getting camper registrations and some brand new staff applications.  So, if you know that there is no place you would rather be than beautiful Tuxedo, NC next summer, it’s not too early to let us know!  We’re also getting ready to start packing our bags for fall travels.  Our travel schedule will be posted shortly.  Check to see when we will be in your town and PLEASE come out & say ‘hello”! 

We are working on updating our packing list for new campers to make sure all of the essential camp ‘stuff’ is thereCheck out the current packing list on the website.  If you can think of anything that needs to be added, let us know!  Remember, everything should pretty much be able to fit in a trunk or cubby AND camp stuff is the key word (this may exclude items such as Nintendo Wii, a queen sized mattress & your great grandmother’s china set).

Either way, we would love to hear from you, so drop us a line and let us know what you are up too!

Missing you greatly,

Sophie
