My name is Peter Cohen, and I am a first year aide. Being on camp for 8 summers as a camper and then joining the staff has been an incredible transition. Although I learned a lot about this place as a camper, being a counselor has given me a completely different perspective. Watching kids dance in the same dining hall and play on the same fields as I once did, evokes an exciting nostalgia in me. It simply reinforces the lesson that I learned throughout my years: the more you learn about camp, the more you realize there is always so much more to learn.

These past few days have been quite busy in the realm. Today, we hosted our annual 13u and 15u boys’ basketball tournament. Although hot, it was an exciting day of competition as Winaukee went home victorious in the 15u tournament while Tecumseh beat Winaukee in the final of the 13u tournament. Our Robin Hood teams fought hard. While this was happening at camp, the Arrows were busy climbing Rattlesnake Mountain. All else is well here as we sadly say goodbye to some members of our camp family tomorrow, but we know we will see them all again soon. Sweet Dreams from the Realm!
