There is truth to the rumor that Mitch is in negotiations for the sequel to WET HOT AMERICAN SUMMER to be filmed once again at Camp Towanda!; some of you may recall that although not proud of the content, it was kind of fun to host and be THE location for 2 months back in 2001 for the cast and crew (David Hyde Pierce, Amy Poehler, Paul Rudd, Bradley Cooper, Elizabeth Banks, Janeane Garofalo, Chris Meloni, Molly Shannon and many more); probably not before 2014, but we’ll keep you posted in case they need extras (OMG!!!)…and in

THE FINAL 4 ExperienceWhen Brandon Reiter decided to go to his Dad’s alma mater to major in business, Mitch said to him, “When SYRACUSE Make It Back To The Final 4, We’ll GO”!Now, who knew it was going to be soon thereafter, during his freshman year! But, keeping his word, these two Orangemen met in Atlanta for quite a special experience.The spirit was very “camp-esque”. Everyone was happy, friendly, in good spirits, feeling great and hospitable! Excitement was everywhere! The best part was that we ran into many Towanda-ers; parents, staff, alumni, campers and friends of camp! Towanda had fans for 3 of the 4 teams! Despite those 3 teams all coming up a bit short, it was still fun and everyone seemed to be proud of their schools for achieving this accomplishment; after all, it is not an easy road to The Final 4! You can rest assure that Kit-Kats will be in full stock for our annual special evening line-up at the flagpole (This is another great camp tradition, when those sporting official Syracuse gear on college theme night, get the Kit-Kat)!

And congratulations to our first ever “All Camp March Madness Bracket Challenge” winner, Aidan Neidoff (2nd year, Middie). His prize, a Camp Towanda logo’d basketball signed by the Senior Staff and his name on a new plaque in The Canteen! Our thanks to Jared Reiter for putting this fun, off-season event together!

VISIONWALK

Many of our campers, featuring LITs, CITs, DORM , CLUB, as well as staff, alumni, parents and friends of camp participated in the Foundation Fighting Blindness’ annual VisionWalk in Central Park, NYC.

It was a glorious early spring morning that provided the opportunity for us to get excited about camp and support a great cause.

Mitch is a National Trustee for the FFB, as well as a Board Member for SCOPE and a few other organizations, that are part of our Community Service, Philanthropic and Giving Back awareness that we demonstrate and teach our campers about.

The recent Annual SCOPE BENEFIT DINNER held at NYC’s Marriot Marquis’ Grand Ballroom was another success. Once again, emceed by Mitch, the event was attended by many in the camping industry.The SUMMER CAMP OPPORTUNITIES PROMOTE EDUCATION (hence, SCOPE!) organization provides the summer camp experience to underprivileged children while helping them do well in school. Towanda exemplified support and volunteering from senior staff, parents, alumni, LITs & CITs. Thank you to all that volunteered, donated, placed journal ads and/or attended.

Stephanie’s ARTicleBesides being a Director, Mom to all, Jax Champion, consultant, advisor and the Chief Calm In The Middle Of Any Storm Consultant, Stephanie is a very talented Artist; Accomplished in painting, sculpture, water color, collage and clay! Stephanie’s FINE ART EXPERIENCE optional art classes this summer will focus on Henri Matisse; past years’ focus included: Henri Moore, Georgia O’Keefe and Picasso.Although her work and influence is seen all around camp, she is proud, honored and after working very hard towards this goal; several of her “plein-air” paintings are showcased this summer at The Dragonfly Gallery in Oak Bluffs, Massachusetts on Martha’s Vineyard. In addition, 10% of the proceeds from this show will go to SCOPE (See related article). Hopefully, many vacationers will be able to stop by (at least, we know the Club/Dorm on their trip this summer will have the chance)!Congratulations, Stephanie Reiter!
