e had a fantastic day together at the Funplex!
We are so grateful to make it up from Florida to
see everyone at the Funplex. It warms our hearts
watching you jump into each other’s arms and hearing of the
sleepovers the night before. There were so many fun things to
do together and it can’t get any better than spending a day with
your camp friends playing arcade games, riding rides, racing
around the go-kart track, challenging each other in laser tag,
taking photo booth pictures and hearing about what you have
been up to since summer. We enjoyed our pizza lunch while
watching the summer slideshow and sang along to the best
summer songs. We even heard some dining hall cheers rising
up! We hope you all loved getting our Lindenmere Scarves
and Summer 2015 CD as holiday gifts! The reunion truly helps
the long off season feel shorter and continues to build on one
of the most rewarding communities to be a part of, CAMP.
We hope you all had a great day and for those of you who
couldn’t join us, you were missed! We look forward to when
we are reunited for summer 2016.
Then.Now.Always!
Dear kids, parents & family,
Only 150 days until I get up to camp…
Who’s Counting… ME… as always. The
summer of 2016…doesn’t that sound great?!
I am excited that we have so many returning
kids and staff and with the new additions
we are making, I am sure this will be the
greatest summer in our 81 year history.
The key is to keep all the traditional things
and add new fun things to the mix. So much
of camp is the atmosphere we all create
together BUT adding new and exciting
things is always great for everyone.
Our new hockey arena is all cleared off and
ready for construction and we are finalizing
plans on several new majors and evening
activities. All this is great but nothing is like
being with all your camp friends on those
beautiful Pocono summer days and nights…
Camp!!!

A LETTER FROM OD
NEW HOCKEY PAVILION!
As you know, each summer we assess all of our program areas
around camp and decide which need to have new facilities added.
We also take a look at how the rest of camp can benefit from those
upgrades. It is so important to maximize every bit of space that
we have to give our campers the best summer of their lives. This
year we have undertaken a massive project that will benefit both
the program area and will also serve as an all-purpose, camp-wide
resource!
We are happy to announce that we have already begun construction
on a giant hockey pavilion where the old hockey court used to be.
This building is going to be constructed by the very same Amish
builders that we used for the Lindendome and the Circus pavilion.
The new hockey pavilion is going to be over 9200 square feet and
will be equipped with a state-of-the-art lighting and sound system!
Over half of the brand new color-coated black top will be the new
hockey arena.
Over the past few years, our hockey program has become one of
the more popular sports on camp and this facility is going to give
our campers exactly what they want and deserve. New boards,
state-of-the-art equipment, the best staff and great campers are
going to make hockey one of the hottest (not literally because now
they’re in the shade!) activities on camp.
The other benefit of building a huge structure like this is that it adds
an additional 9,200 square feet to our already 37,000 plus square
feet of covered activity space. As a camp, we want to be able
to handle any and all weather situations that come our way for
both our program and evening activities. Our programs are only
getting stronger and won’t be effected by any weather conditions
in Henryville.
Stay tuned for more announcements on new majors, minors, activity
areas and new and returning staff. We know that 2016 is going to
be the best summer ever!
Then. Now. Always!

Dara’s winter craft
Make your own Lindenmere t-shirt scarf
It’s getting cold out there so let’s make a super simple
no-sew infinity scarf with one of your Camp Lindenmere t-shirts to
keep you warm all winter! All you have to do is find a Lindenmere
t-shirt, a pair of scissors and we can get started!
Follow these simple directions:
Step 1
Snip the shirt under the arm hole. (you don’t need a huge cut)
Step 2
Tear the shirt across and the fabric will curl on itself. If there is a
seam on the other side, you may need to snip the other side too.
You can step on the loop and pull it to stretch it out more. And
you are done! Yep – it’s that easy!
Send us a picture of you wearing your Camp Lindenmere DIY scarf and we’ll post your amazing creations on our Facebook Fan Page!
