DIRECTOR’S MESSAGE:Happy Holidays, everyone! I hope you all get the chance to spend time with family and friends this holiday season. I am reminded of the Holiday Extravaganza from Session 4 complete with a Christmas tree and even “black Friday shopping”. Although Rugby and I are not fans of the snow, there is something wonderful about cozying up to the fire on a snow day. I like to make s’mores and pretend I’m back at camp! We do have an alumni event planned soon, so I will get to see some of my camp friends. Hopefully, all of you

are finding ways to stay in touch with friends you met at Foss or Mi-Te-Na. Staff are starting to let me know about their plans for next summer, and some campers are already registered. Keep warm this winter, and remember to light your candles anytime you need a reminder of the memories you made at Camp Foss.

STAFF HOLIDAY MESSAGESHey, ladies! I hope your school year is full of joy, little homework, and will hopefully bring a lot of snow days. Thinking back to how much fun we had at camp always makes me happy when walking through my campus of barren trees. Let the countdown to the

summer of 2015 begin!Krista Chouinard

Hey, ladies! I hope your school year is going well, and as we get closer to returning to Willey Pond it just keeps getting better. I know on many of the chilly days I find myself daydreaming about the summer warmth and my favorite camp memories; when I do that,

it doesn’t seem as cold and camp feels much closer. I can’t wait to see ya’ll next year and create even more camp memories.
