From the desk of Jamie Cosson, Executive Director...

November 26th, 2012

Greetings Camp Families,

I hope that all is well with your family! It is wonderful to hear the sounds of children enjoying the outdoors as we conclude our school outdoor education season. Holiday overnight camp is coming soon, December 21-23 and is an awesome camp program during the holidays. We are spending plenty of time discussing summer camp and building on the successes of 2012.  For the 2013 season, our staff and board of managers have been busy analyzing evaluations and recommending positive changes. I can assure you that we have listened very carefully to the many children that attend our camps – and of course to you, our parents. 

For example, we will build on the successes of last summer by continuing to focus our attention on creating the best possible cabin life experience, friendship development and daily activities that help your child build important life and social skills. All these components focus on our primary goal of giving every child a safe and fun experience that builds self-esteem, and prepares them for the challenges of life.

Also, in order to meet rising food, utility, and staffing costs, we are making changes to 2013 fees, including adjustments to our overnight camp rate and a simplification of day camper pricing that eliminates the tiered pricing system and replaces it with a single rate. The new single fee structure for overnight and day campers will not affect our scholarship program and financial assistance will still be available.

Even with these pricing adjustments, we hope you will be pleased to know that even as we invest in providing a truly quality camp experience and improved camp facilities, Camp Weaver is still the lowest-priced overnight camp and among the lowest outdoor sports and adventure camps in the region. We are proud to be a “hidden gem” among summer camps.

Please see our web site for summer 2013 rates and schedule information. And do not miss our NEW $50 early bird discount for overnight camp and $20 for traditional day camp! We hope you will take advantage of this great offer to save on camp tuition and reserve your child’s spot now for next summer. But hurry, this offer is only available to returning camp families through January 1st, 2013!

I am always open to feedback, suggestions and questions. You can send them to Jamie@campweaver.org or call our camp phone number (336) 697-0525. I look forward to seeing you soon!       

Wishing you the best!

Sincerely,
Jamie Cosson
Executive Director
