We had a great time at our annual beach day in Ogunquit. Campers played in the surf and in the sand, ran back and forth to the boardwalk for ice cream and snacks, and just had a blast with their friends. The water temperature was 64F, the warmest water temperatures that we have enjoyed in many years. We hope that you enjoyed all the pictures as much as we enjoyed our day.

It takes a tremendous amount of organization to take the whole camp to the beach. This is nothing new to us here at Robin Hood. In 1967 we took the entire camp to Expo 67 in Montreal. It was quite an expedition and we had a great time. Half the camp went at a time with each group going for 5 days. Then in 1975, at the end of the summer, Andy announced that Robin Hood would be attending the Olympics the following summer in 1976. Andy passed away in January of 1976 and so it became his son Drew’s job to make sure that his father’s promise to his campers was brought to fruition. Drew and future camp owner, John Klein, put together the Olympic adventure. We went in two shifts along with our sister Camp Hiawatha we all spent 5 days and saw many great events including the debut of Sugar Ray Leonard in the boxing ring. It was a major undertaking but well worth it with so many memories made that alumni still talk about it to this day.
