Camp Choconut is Looking Forward to the Future and the Summer of 2009
 |
Camp Choconut is busily planning for 2009 after successfully completing our first full summer session in more than two decades. Many of our '08 campers already say they will be returning for next year's session and Camp Choconut Director Fred Lorber is busy overseeing recruitment efforts for new campers across the country. This past summer there was a significant transfer of knowledge and wisdom down through the generations as Fred, Barney Conville, Danny and Dale Lorber, Joe Horne and other old friends and campers taught our new campers the nuances of what life at Camp Choconut is all about.
This year's annual Camp Choconut Foundation reunion was the usual spirited fun combined with some sadness that Ham Horne wasn't with us this year. But Ham is still alive in the hearts of all members of the Choconut family who were touched by his wisdom, humor and compassion over the decades that he devoted to us and to the mission of the camp. We will always remember him with smiles.

The Choconut Foundation is an organization consisting of alumni, families, and friends
associated with Camp Choconut, located on Lake Choconut near Friendsville, Pennsylvania in the Blue Ridge Mountains next to the New York State border.
Camp Choconut is a residential boys’ camp that was founded in 1896 as one of the first summer camps in the country. It provides a setting for boys where outdoor activities such as camping, backpacking, canoeing, and sports help to instill the values of cooperation, teamwork, responsibility, and friendship. Our camp also teaches archery, swimming, canoeing, hiking, construction, fishing, woodworking, and our legendary “big games,” some of which are 100 years old.
Our 85th season will be a six-week session from June 27– August 8. A concurrent three-week session is available from June 27– July 18. The second half offers a multi-day canoe trip on a local river and the “Villa Hunt,” a three-day game of hide-and-seek on and around our square-mile campus. Family Camp is planned for August 10 - 16.

Both the young and young at heart enjoy the annual Choconut Foundation Labor Day Reunion
