Happy New Year!

7. Lucy

10. New Thingz! We’ve gone crazy this fall replacing equipment for TONS of the activities. You’ll see new snorkeling equipment, floor hockey goalie masks, trick skis, a new wakeboard, paintball masks, bikes, bike helmets,  fencing jackets, and more! The pool table in the Rec Center was recovered. There’s now a campfire pit outside of Osawaka and the Marina and Sauna doors will be replaced in 2014!

9. New Special Canteen Items! We know there will be new sweatshirts, sweatpants, and t-shirts plus some of the random fun stuff. Do you have any good ideas of things we should sell? Let us know! We’re trying to decide what kind of sweatshirt to sell next year – so vote in the poll on Foley’s homepage!

8. You Rock Tables! We know you remember the You Rock Tables from last summer for our Club Paradise and Rockstar LIT/CIT campers. They’ll be back this summer, so save your seat at one today! Bring a cousin, friend, or neighbor to Foley for the first time. Not only will you get to sit at a special table, but you’ll attend the awesome Club Paradise root beer float party too!

7. Lucy! In 2013, our leucistic black rat sake passed away after spending seven summers at the Camp Foley Nature Corner. Luckily, we were able to adopt Lucy this winter. She is a new leucistic black rat snake that will live with our other critters in the Nature Corner!

6. Bike, Hike & Campfire Trails

6. Bike, Hike & Campfire Trails! This fall, all the trails on the other side of the road were cleared and signage was posted to make it easy for everyone to follow. Maybe this summer your cabin will adventure into the woods for a special Evening Program? Maybe you’ll sing up for Biking for the first time and bike one of Foley’s trails! Every trail and campfire site has a name that’s posted and signage throughout the woods helps you find your destination.

5. New Ski Boat! If you were here during 4th Session you remember saying goodbye to our old friend, the Green Ski Boat (and you may have gotten a glimpse of the newest member of our fleet)! This summer we’ll have at least one new boat down at the Marina to tackle one of the most popular activities at Foley: Waterskiing!

4. Pizza Parties

4. Pizza Parties! We have Pizza Parties & Video Showings scheduled for the Twin Cities (January 27) and St. Louis (February 1). If you live in either of those places make sure to mark your calendars! If you’d like to host a party in your area and want a Foley Rep to help out, let us know!

3. CITs & LITs! We have a handful of campers starting or returning to the Leadership Program in 2014. If you’re going into 9th, 10th and 11th grade you can take on an important leadership roll!

2. Counselors! They live in your cabins. They sit at your meal tables. They teach the activities. They are crazy fun and sometimes just plain crazy! Keep checking the Meet the Staff page to find out who’s the counselors and ADs will be!
