Sleep Away Summer Camps for Boys and Girls in Pennsylvania
95 days from today busses will be rolling through our gates and we will be getting set to kick off the best summer Camps Equinunk & Blue Ridge have EVER seen!
You too can be a part of the Summer 2011 magic by joining us for Mother/Daughter Weekend. Registration forms have been pouring in so be sure to get your application into our Winter Office by the May 15th deadline! We hope to see you there!
Dear CECBR Alumni & Staff,
We are excited to let you know that Camps Equinunk and Blue Ridge will have a team for the first annual Camp Games for a Cause fundraising event sponsored by the American Camp Association, New York and New Jersey on Saturday May 21st at the Columbia University sports facilities in New York City. We want you to join our team as we compete against hundreds of other camp alumni, staff and friends in this mega “camp color war/camp Olympics” style event, filled with games, food and of course, plenty of camp spirit! Events will include activities such as basketball shootouts, tug-of-war, sing-offs, wacky relays, dance competitions and much more! No need to start training for the day – it will be a day of friendly competition and there will be plenty of activities for non-athletes.
The event will raise money for a wonderful cause; providing low income children with a positive camp experience through scholarships, trainings and program support. As past campers yourselves, I’m sure you can agree that a positive camp experience has immeasurable benefits. This is a wonderful way to help provide low income children with the opportunity to be a part of that very special experience. Even if you cannot join the team, you can still help by donating to the cause and spreading the word about the event.
Join our Camp Team:
Anyone over 18 years of age can join our Camp Games team. To join us for this fun event, visit www.campgamesforacause.org and join our camp’s team! This is a great way to see old camp friends too – we encourage you to reach out to all of your old camp friends and register together! Upon registration, you will immediately be able to create your own donation page and start raising money to help this momentous cause.
Donate to the Cause:
If you cannot make the event, any donation you could make to the cause will help other children have the same positive camp experience that camp gave you each summer. Just go to
www.campgamesforacause.org to make a donation. In the spirit of healthy competition, we would ask that you click onto our Team’s page through the Team rank on the right side of the website and make a general Team donation. We want our camp’s team to have either the greatest number of donors or to raise the most money.
Spread the Word about the Cause:
Help us spread the word by liking Camp Games for A Cause on Facebook, writing about the event on your wall or reaching out to friends who you think might want to provide support. If you have any further questions, please don’t hesitate to contact us, or by emailing our Program Director – Scott Rosenbluth at scott@cecbr.com. We know you understand the importance of this cause and we hope you will consider being part of this groundbreaking event!
Warm Regards,
– The CECBR Team

As I look towards the Summer of 2011 so many wonderful thoughts race through my head. There are so many that I am having a hard time choosing one of another and adequately describing each makes the previous one almost seem not as great as the next. There are so many special and important times in one summer at CE. First and foremost the moment the first bus pulls into camp and I have the opportunity to get on the bus and welcome everyone home, seeing everyone’s smiling face and reaction from those simple but very strong words is truly amazing, from the camper that is hearing that for the first time or the veteran who now truly feels like he has arrived at his summer home, it is special.
The first time we lineup at the flag pole and I step onto the “ROCK” for the first time, is a very thrilling moment which only continues into the mess hall that very first evening when the upper seniors of 2011 take their place in camp by leading the singing. All of the planning that has gone into the 2011 summer starts to be put into action and everyone is on the go enjoying themselves on the field, court, lake, POOL, hobby center and E-Rena. This year in particular I have great anticipation to everyone’s reaction to the great additions to camp, the Pool and golf facility.
The summer of 2011 seems so far away right now with temperatures in the 30’s here on Long Island, we all know that it won’t be long before we are all back at our summer home enjoying the greatest part Camp Equinunk has to offer it’s friendship to all.
