SOUTHWOODS 15TH<br />

ANNUAL FALL REUNION:<br />

Reflecting on a remarkable summer!<br />

School has begun, the leaves are turning and it is officially fall in New<br />

York. At the <strong>Southwoods</strong> winter office, we are pulling out our jackets,<br />

finding our gloves and scarves, and remembering that not long ago we<br />

were chanting our favorite tribal cheers and singing camp songs together.<br />

<strong>2012</strong> was a summer to remember! We unveiled our new Adirondack<br />

Ga-Ga Stadium, the expanded Arts & Crafts activity area, the expanded<br />

canteen deck, enjoyed 3rd period Senior only waterfront time, competed<br />

in free-play Olympics, and had some of the most exciting special event<br />

days ever!<br />

If you’re missing camp as much as we are, let us remind you the 15th annual <strong>Southwoods</strong> Reunion is right around the corner. This year’s<br />

reunion will be on Saturday, November 17th, <strong>2012</strong> from 9:30am -<br />

11:30am at the Doubletree Hotel in Tarrytown, NY. We have lots of<br />

exciting things planned for the event, including a showing of our<br />

Summer <strong>2012</strong> video and a presentation to Project Morry of all <strong>2012</strong> Swim-A-Thon donations. We will also<br />

have raffles for free <strong>Southwoods</strong> apparel and a free Winter Weekend trip!<br />

We would like to thank all of the parents who took the time to fill out our <strong>2012</strong> <strong>Southwoods</strong> Survey online. We<br />

truly appreciate the feedback you have given us. All of your comments will be considered as we move forward<br />

in preparing for Summer 2013. We continue to value our relationship with each parent, as we believe that this<br />

is a key component to improving everything from our program to our staff, to our positive impact on the<br />

development of our campers. Additionally, the survey kudos you shared fill us with a “warm inner glow”!<br />

What You Said...<br />

“Excellent - it's a great place to meet new friends, and try something new.”<br />

“<strong>The</strong> quality of care at <strong>Southwoods</strong> was very excellent. I felt that there<br />

was a lot of thought that went into the decision making involving my<br />

child and that he was in a supportive and safe environment.”<br />

“Excellent! Julia had a fantastic first summer camp experience. She<br />

can't wait to return and that was our hope, that she would love it and grow from<br />

this experience and look forward to attending for years to come.”<br />

“It is a very special place!”<br />

“We couldn't feel more safe about sending our child to <strong>Southwoods</strong>.<br />

We know that he is in good hands.”<br />

“My impression is that Kira felt very welcome at camp, and she enjoyed the<br />

other children and facilities very much. She is proud of camp and said it<br />

was one of the best experiences she's ever had.”<br />
