‘The Bully Effect’
Hello!
As members of our Camps Equinunk & Blue Ridge family, you are well aware of our commitment to maintain a Wholesome, Inclusive and Nurturing Environment during the summer months and year-round. It is with this philosophy in mind that we take a stand against bullying. CNN has produced a documentary called “The Bully Effect” which follows the stories of a number of people filmmaker Lee Hirsch introduced audiences to in his remarkable 2012 film “Bully.” These are kids and parents who have taken their pain, their suffering, their grief and turned it into action. The documentary will air this evening on CNN’s Anderson Cooper at 10 PM.
We strongly encourage CECBR parents, staff and campers to tune in tonight and invite you to join the conversation and take a stand on bullying.
Warm Regards,
Sheryl, Richie & Adam

Picture Perfect from a CE Camper!
Hi CECBR! I took this picture of the Equinunk lake in the beginning of the summer. Early in the morning I was on the camp boat and it was a nice day out so I thought it would be a good picture. The picture was taken when the boat was in the middle of the lake. Can’t wait to see everyone at the reunion!

The Story Behind The Stories
We’ve been running into camp families everywhere we travel and hearing how much they are enjoying Richie’s stories. Our hope for you is that you will listen to them over and over and begin to tell them and re-tell them, re-make them and re-invent them in your own way. Embellishments of the original tales have been added to and augmented in bedtime re-telling’s for generations of Equinunk and Blue Ridge campers.
To grow-up steeped in these telling’s is to learn two unforgettable lessons: first, that some of these stories may have not been “completely” true. (There are no real genies in bottles or flying carpets) but even if they were not true they could make you feel and know truths that the truth could not tell you, and second that they all belong to you, just as they belong to us. They are yours to alter and renew, yours to laugh at and live in , to give these stories life and to be given life by them in return. The stories are your Equinunk and Blue Ridge birthright.

Nails & The Tree
Yom Kippur also known as Day of Atonement, is the holiest day of the year for the Jewish people. Its central themes are atonement and repentance. Examples of both themes can be found in this next story from Richie – entitled “Nails & The Tree”:
