What began as a blog for Camp and School parents is now a site to share important information with staff and trustees. The parent blog has migrated to our website.

CTT: chores




Happy July 4th. Twice a day children do barn chores, and at 5:00 PM everyone is involved in work jobs. It has been a very soggy day, although the weather takes a turn for the better tomorrow. The campers and counselors in the garden are transplanting lettuce. As a somewhat related aside, if you did not see the important story in the New York Times magazine six weeks ago, "The Case for Working With Your Hands," I have enclosed a link so that you may access it. Several of us on campus are reading the book from which the article was excerpted.
