Color War is on


Hi!

Thursday night was Color War breakout. Fireworks at the EBF, the whole camp on its feet, crazy energy, and the reveal every kid waits all summer for. Go big or go home.

Watch the breakout

That's the vibe heading into this weekend. And really, that's camp.

Big moments and small moments, all summer long. Most of what a kid carries home is the quiet stuff, hundreds of little things they barely notice at the time. But 6.5 weeks also gives you the huge ones.

Carnival. Big Weekend. Hollowpalooza. Mt. Washington.

And finally Color War.

Kids remember summer for all kinds of reasons, and you can never predict what'll stick. For one kid it's the fireworks on July 4th. For another it's a card game at rest hour. Which is why we pack the summer as full as we can, and knows that many somethings will land.

A long summer gives you room for all of it. Big and small.

One quick note before the weekend takes over. Early bird registration for Summer 2027 ends tomorrow, Saturday (8/1).

Register by the end of the day, and you lock in this year's rate for next summer, the best number we'll have all year.

Pay in full for $800 off a half summer or $1,200 off a full summer. Or put a deposit down and spread the rest across ten monthly payments.

It's all fully refundable through January 1, so moving now costs you two minutes and nothing else.

Register for Summer 2027

Will report back on Color War soon. It’s going to be awesome.

You got this,

Jack

Summer Matters Inspiring confident, kind kids & forever friendships Anyone on this list with a kid in a New Jersey public school probably got a very similar email this summer. It’s from their district, and it’s about phones. The Garden State signed a phone ban into law for every K-12 public school kid, joining a bunch of other states already doing this. The shorthand people are using is bell-to-bell. Phones away from the first bell ring of the day to the last one, starting this school year....

Summer Matters Inspiring confident, kind kids & forever friendships For the last stretch of the summer, if you went up to The Woods during an activity period, just about everything was running. Pickleball. The Ropes Course. Archery. Fort building. One activity was missing for a little bit though. The slingshots. Why? The dads broke them at Visiting Day. I think that’s awesome. I’m being serious. We bought more. All good. So why would we be cool, even excited, about something at camp breaking...

Summer Matters Inspiring confident, kind kids & forever friendships You probably know this, but public speaking ranks at or near the top of basically every fear survey. Scarier than heights. Scarier than spiders. In some surveys, scarier than death. Now, I don’t think anyone hanging off the side of a cliff is thinking, “Nice, at least I’m not public speaking right now.” But that it’s even in the same discussion tells you how much people totally hate it. Standing up in front of people is...
