Wondering if the ceiling in the Canavans could hold us all! Watching Fr. Bob's house burn to the ground during nap time. Hike songs. Pretending to fish in the rainstorm on our overnight hike. Hours in the Candle Shop ...I can still smell that tooty-fruity oil! Meeting alot of very unique and special people.
Dave Cunningham
Beenie Weenies ... My pants are on fire ... Beenie Weenies! Hard Day Hike Songs. Cold Green Scrambled Eggs wiht Green Bug Juice. Ralph's Ghost Stories.
Mike Cunningham
Wa-Zoo and the Friday Special when we conqured Longs Peak.
Cammie (Dyer) Dalhoff
Nights when the kids would come to the Lodge and we would sing songs and Ralph told Ghost stories. Hiking and being on top of tall mountains. The endless task of cleaning the Lodge!

It was on a back packing trip up by Longs Peak. I think Nancy and Larry were there leading the hike. We went up to the top of Lady Washington. It was clouding up quickly. We pushed on to get to the top. My hair was standing up on end and everyone thought it was so funny. It started to hail so we practically ran down the mountain and did some glacier sliding ... What a trip!
Carol (Bussanich) Eddy
I've been thinking of the song that goes 'I will never forget you my people' and I am reminded of Dave and Denise up in the Chapel.
Mary Elizabeth Eiberger
Larry giving me a hug and a smile. Receiving Camper of the Week award. Hiking Longs for my very first time with Mark Bettag. Fr. Bob and all his sermons.
Judy Koprek
Hiking up Mount Lady Washington and Dave got stuck in the glacier. Going to Estes Park on Saturdays. Wa-Zoo. Singing with the kids. Fr. Bob - I miss him a lot. I haven't found a Priest who cares like he does.
Tommy Lankenau
I remember Parachute Men in the Chapel. Hard overnight to Sand Beach and Chiefs Head. Building survival shelters in nature lore. Taking brochure pictures with kids. Helping campers hit riflery targets for the fist time. Hiking across Alpine Tundra. Fr. Bob's sermons. Playing in the mud at Upper Beaver Ponds. Dressing up for Wa-Zoo or Lodge Night.
Martha Layton
Counselor birthdays every evening. Good gritties and AAAAAMEN!
Dan Norick
I remember the smell of candle wax. The feeling of the sun warming up each day as we walked down for morning Mass. Day hikes.
Steve Russell
I remember Carol Eddy 'inadvertently' dropping a ring into 15 gallons of orange Bug juice, which after carefully straining the entire barrel it wasn't to be found! It reappeared shortly thereafter in her pocket!
John Ruzicka
Teaching archery up at Big Red Range. Climbing Mt. Meeker and Longs Peak. Playing Zit Ball with 150 kids!
Lisa Salden
I remember water fights after dinner while doing dishes!
James Tarr
I remember Kevin Cunningham putting my mattress on a raft in the middle of the pond as a 'Welcome to Camp' gesture. Thanks Kevin! Brian Henden telling me, 'Real men don't drink Bug Juice'. Frisbee golfing on nights off and painting faces in the middle of the night with food coloring.
Elizabeth Thompson
The last Awards Night with all the counselors receiving an award!
Katie (Tinker) Young
Working in the office until 3 am with Fr. Bob in order to have all the campers bills ready for Sunday. Staff overnights - getting to know all the staff members.
Annamarie (Brogi) Tomassoni
Making huge flour tortillas at night and just visiting. Doing laundry in Estes Park. Mass every morning. At the time I thought I was homesick, but looking back it was all so fun!
Pam Walter
I remember summer 82'. We celebrated Christmas in July and the children from Mexico and their hike group sang Feliz Navidad. They were so special and adorable.
