Hello everyone!
Checking in from the beautiful shores of Trout Lake! We have finally received some snow storms with more in the forecast. This is great, considering that last winter had virtually no snow accumulations.
This month, camp has many new updates. We also have some upcoming community events on the horizon and some tasks for which we asked our trusted community for help.
In the fall, we had a strong enrollment period. We’ve just broken into the 80s in total enrollment, but there’s still work to do. We invite you, our community, and alumni to help reach out to people in your network who have a boy who would enjoy the Red Arrow Experience.
If you’re ready to enroll your son or know someone interested in giving their son the adventure of a lifetime, click here to get started or contact Eric directly at eric@redarrowcamp.com or 920-728-2101. Don’t miss out on an unforgettable summer at Red Arrow Camp!
We’re Still Looking For Staff!
In the Rec Hall at camp, mounted to the rafters, is a saying – “A man never stands so tall as when he stoops to help a child.” Working at Red Arrow can be one of life’s most rewarding and impactful experiences. They directly impact boys’ lives as they grow up to become great men.
Roles that are still vacant for this summer include:
– Cabin Counselors
– Head of Scuba
– Head of Riding
– 1-2 Cookie Positions
If you, or someone you know, could be a good fit, please visit our Job Opportunities page on our website for more information.
Camper Referrals are the Key to a Full Camp
Red Arrow gets its campers from three sources. Ordinarily, approximately 60 enrolled campers are returners from the previous summer(s). 5 boys typically enroll whose families discovered camp online, either through search engines or as a result of our online advertising. Referrals, boys who have some connection to camp through family or friends, represent the third leg or our enrollment stool and have averaged 28 new campers over the last four recruitment cycles…
We are only eight boys away from reaching our referral targets for this summer (22/30)!
Thank you to all of our community who have helped recruit boys for camp this summer. We are so close to reaching our goal of 30 new referrals this summer.
