Where we find our camp inspiration: Fallon
A while back a question came up in the office, “Where do we find our camp inspiration?” Well, that’s a great question but I quickly caught myself asking more. How do you find it? When do you know you’ve actually found it? As I sat there wondering what I was going to say, it occurred to me that I didn’t …
Friendship born to last
Friendship: a tying bind that never breaks no matter what life may throw at you or the distance that separates you from one another. A personal definition, if you will. When I think of friendship, camp automatically comes to mind. Some of the most awe-inspiring people that have entered my life were the people that I walked through those red gates …
Camp Counselors: more than fun and tanning!
Working at camp as a counselor is not just about having fun in the outdoors while getting a great tan. There are many, many soft skills that are exercised and honed! As evidence, the Aug. 13,2016 Wall Street Journal reports that companies across the U.S. say it is becoming increasingly difficult to find applicants who can: communicate clearly take initiate …
It’s the most CHARM-ing time of the year!
When we first bought The Heart 40 years ago, one of the sweetest traditions we inherited was that of sending a Christmas gift to the “Earlibirds”. The Earlibirds, of course, were the campers who registered for the next summer before Christmas, and for many years the gift was a tribe-colored blanket. In October 1976, the Ragsdale and Moore families bought …
Life in a Teen Cabin
Teens are our oldest division here at The Heart. They are 15 and 16 years old. In my four years of being at The Heart, I had Teen tepees both terms last year, and let me say to you that it was an amazing experience! But what is it like? It is like living with girls that are your little …
Riflery at The Heart
Howdy! My name is MaryFrancis Benning and I am the Adventure Sports Coordinator for The Heart. I grew up in the wilds of west Texas in El Paso. While I didn’t go to traditional summer camp, I did go to ranch camp where I learned how to shoot guns as well as bows and arrows, I learned how to rope, …
Swim Little Heart Girls, Swim, Swim!
G’day from down under! Heart O’ the Hills is a magical place where your girls get to experience activities that they would never usually be exposed to in the lifestyles they lead outside of camp. My favourite activity – and this may be biased – is swimming! Now I know what you’re thinking, the girls have plenty of opportunities to …
Sing along with me!
Sing along with me! Every Sunday afternoon at camp we have “free activities.” Once upon a time, there was just free swim, but then other activities were added that campers are free to come and go from at will. We have free art, free riflery, free archery, free soccer, free dodgeball, and so forth. So many people, especially former campers …
Dear Camp, Love A First Time Counselor
Dear Camp, Well the two months of camp have passed and guess what? I did it, camp is over and it’s a bittersweet moment. At the beginning I almost thought that I was going to hate this place, but I soon grew to love it and call it a second home. The time was well spent here and I could …
