This summer will be my 5th summer at BCWS and I have loved every minute of camp for the last 4 years. I learned soooo much and I had an excellent time doing so. It is the bright spot of my summer. I have so many good memories from there and I am really looking forward to my next summer there.

Being a camper for the past 5 years, all I can say is that I love BCWS! We go backpacking in Monogeheila National forest, take preturnals, nocturnals, hike, create your own picasso master piece (art), swim, bird watch from the 60 foot canopy walkway, eat wine berries and reflect on the day, life or just read a book. Before dinner (which is better than my mom's home cooked meals and they're pretty good) amongst other activities; the friends I've made at Burgundy I hope I'll have forever. The councelers are cool, intellectually intriguing and embrace the campers with knowledge, excitment and fun activities.

This is an incredibly unique experience for kids to challenge themselves intellectually, physically, and socially. My son has returned year after year. Highlights have included lengthy night hikes, a large selection of science workshops, multi-day back-packing trips sleeping out on the trail, caving, fishing, swimming, canoeing, and self-directed projects and presentations. Vinnie Schoene, the director, can speak at length on every lichen, geological formation, insect, reptile, fish, mammal, bird, or fossil that one might find. Her boundless energy, curiosity and sense of adventure are infectious. My son has a tremendous sense of comfort and self-sufficiency in the woods as a result, and a love of the natural world thay will stay with him throughout his life. |
