Friday, August 17, 2018 LAST day of camp-
ARROWHEAD is quiet.
Our campers have all gone back to school.
Our staff has gone back to work.
And our parents have gone back to their routines.
ARROWHEAD is hibernating…
The trees are bare ,
The grass is brown,
The playground is silent,
The pools are covered,
The mess hall is closed,
The ball fields are inactive,
The lake is still.
ARROWHEAD is quiet because Mother Nature sleeps.
But we are all dreaming of the summer of 2018 when it blooms alive with…
The campers playing and laughing,
The staff interacting,
The trees in full bloom,
The swings swinging,
The pools splashing
The fish biting,
The mess hall filled with hungry campers,
The ball fields active and the grass turning green.
We can’t wait to enliven our senses, arrive at ARROWHEAD and seize the days!
Enjoy the rest of your winter…only 5 more months until summer and the first day of
camp!
Here’s to a very healthy, happy, prosperous and peaceful new year!!!!!!
Green and White the perfect team.. Arrowhead 2018
Yours for better camping-
Uncle Brian Witt
Junior Camp With everyone settled back at school, I
continue to reflect on the 2017 camp season. Even though the weather dictated the 2017 camp schedule, the campers and counselors could still be seen with big smiles throughout the campgrounds. Many Junior campers had milestones throughout the summer, such as passing their deep water test, getting their canoeing license, or going down the zip-line for the first time. The Junior Camp had a resurgence at mini golf, with a whole new course updated this summer. Many campers experienced their first hole-in-one on our new course. Junior Campers loved the special Friday shows, such as David Darwin, George the Magician, the Disco, and Jumping Jamie. The campers also enjoyed our special events like Halloween Day, the Dance Recital, Junior Olympics, and for the first time ever the Junior Campers participated in the Road Runner Race! What I miss most is walking around camp and seeing all the Junior Campers happily participating at Batting Cages, Nature Study, or Music and Dance. I want to thank the Junior Staff for an incredible summer. I know June 2018 is just around the corner, and I can’t wait for another amazing summer. Enjoy the rest of your school year, and see you soon! AUNT CARRIE CHAITT
Intermediate Camp The summer of 2017 was fabulous in Intermediate Camp! ARROWHEAD campers like to be active, and Intermediate Camp has so much to offer! The campers were busy, busy, busy all summer long! With our club day selection increasing to include more and more activities, and our sports leagues rotating to include several sports… there is no time to get bored at ARROWHEAD DAY CAMP. The campers loved having the options to build their schedules with club day…. And we had some very popular activities this year like Scuba Diving, Face Painting, Graffiti Art, “Build a Bear”, Jewelry Making, Pioneering, Culinary Arts, Marksmanship, Nature Study, and Arts & Crafts! With more sessions of each club offered, we worked to make the schedule so that all campers had the opportunity to get their first choices! Intermediate Campers are also involved in the Road Runner Race, our Summer Show “Disney Spectacular”, the Scavenger Hunt, Color War, and the Land and Sea Carnivals! The Special Friday PM Show was also a great hit for our campers with magic, animals, music, and drama…. Those shows gave us time to put our feet up and relax at the end of a busy camp week! We also have a wonderful staff that makes sure that our campers are having a great time every day! With everything going on at ARROWHEAD DAY CAMP we should make the summer last all year long! I can’t wait to see everyone again next summer! The summer of 2018 is sure to be fabulous as well!
AUNT KRISTEN CHENEY
Senior Camp Happy New Year. Welcome to 2018 and I hope this is a year when dreams come true for every Arrowhead senior camper. On this brutally cold day I am thinking back to the amazing summer of 2017 and the fun that we had. It is certainly uplifting to know that in less than 6 months we will get to do it again. The summer of 2017 was loaded with memories, most specifically of the fantastic senior campers, junior counselors and counselors. The senior campers were at the top of their games in 2017, exhibiting sportsmanship, amazing behavior and unparalleled skills on the athletic fields and in all the other aspects of camp. Our league season was fantastic. As usual, the boy's softball league provided great drama and defined the spirit of competition. The girl's GAGA/Newcombe/Kickball league had its share of great moments as well. Also, a big thanks to Uncle Chris and Uncle Kyle for their Sixers and Flyers Basketball League which literally went down to the last minute of overtime. Club Day once again provided a diverse set of activities for our campers. The campers also had the unique opportunity to be part of a baseball clinic run by Delaware County baseball legends Dave Splain, Matt Eiel and Rob Straff. They enjoyed working with you all so much that they want to come back and do it again in 2018. Our end of the year activities included the always memorable Pentathlon, MTV Day, Roadrunner Races and of course, Color War. Despite a few rainy days, each of those activities went off perfectly and provided high drama and reaffirmed the spirit of competition. It was pleasure to watch all of these events. A huge thank you to Uncles Kyle, Chris, Jerry, Kyle H as well as Aunts Abby, Jennifer, Stephanie and Cara for all of your incredible work. None of this can be done without the time you put in and your efforts are all greatly admired and appreciated. Also, a special thank you to our fantastic senior camp junior counselors who added hard work, smiles and fun to every camp day. Lastly, an everlasting thank you to all of my wonderful campers...YOU are the reason why Arrowhead is the best and the reason I look forward to the first day of camp every year. Have a great finish to your school year and we will see you in the Summer of 2018!! UNCLE RANDY STRAFF
TRANSPORTATION After 62 summers of getting campers to and from camp safely every day, we are proud to say Arrowhead’s transportation system is going strong. While most people don’t see “behind the curtain” of our transportation procedures, we start planning strategies long before the season begins. We work tirelessly all spring reading maps, satellites and computer programs to ensure our transportation routes are convenient and safe for our campers. We also hire professional staff members to drive our vehicles as well as our bus counselors. The most up-to-date means of transportation (large bus and fourteen passenger vans) are used and tailored for effective pickup in a variety of communities. It is important to us that we remember what didn’t work well last summer and make sure to address it for the current summer. Most importantly, we insist on practicing until all the routes run perfectly. With this commitment, we will get your children to camp safely in the shortest possible time. I hope all of you come out for our new season. See you in 2018! AUNT JULIE GILBERT
FOOD FOR THOUGHT After 62 summers of feeding our happy campers, I can truly say the Mess Hall is the place at camp where everyone comes together. Our campers and staff still enjoyed chowing down on classics like French bread pizza and grilled cheese, and also couldn’t get enough of some of our newer menu additions! We are very conscious to make sure we are adding healthy options to our menu. Lunch would not be possible without Aunt Jackie, who took pride in seeing everyone enjoy their daily meal, Uncle Jacob's hot dog skills and expertly crafted bug juice, Uncle Son's super fluffy fluff sandwiches, and of course our amazing cooks who are, as we sing every year at color war songfest, "really cool." I have enjoyed watching the happy campers eat and savor their meals just as much as I did when I was a camper. The mess hall is the place where everyone comes together to share meals and make memories. It has been an honor and a privilege to preserve this camp tradition.
AQUATIC UPDATE
As the approach of the 2018 summer
season nears, ARROWHEAD’S pool staff is feeling the anticipation of another fabulous summer. The swim schools are awaiting the arrival of new and returning swimmers and the water slides and diving boards are hoping to see the excited faces of all those Deep Water Swimmers. The instructional morning program uses the best teachings & techniques from the American Red Cross. We have 10 swim schools; teaching strokes from beginner through intermediate and up to advanced. As children progress through our system, swim cards are mailed home to show parents the skills mastered by your child. Children use their skills learned in the morning during afternoon swim, which is filled with fun as our intermediate and advanced swimmers use the water slides and diving board. Beginning swimmers gain confidence as they see how much fun the water can be. We especially enjoy club periods where campers come to play fun games with our lifeguards. The addition of aqua ping pong this summer was a huge hit! Keep safe and stay well. See you very soon! POOL DIRECTORS
OVERNIGHT WEEKENDS
We were thrilled with the campers’ enthusiasm for Arrowhead's overnight weekends during the summer. Boys and girls aged 7 and older all enjoyed bonding over the authentic overnight camp experience. Activities included night swims, ga-ga tournaments, scavenger hunts, movie nights, bunk talent shows and of course, campfires with s'mores!! It was truly a joy to watch campers of all ages really get close and form a tight-knit little community while making memories we hope stay with them a lifetime. We are grateful to our staff, campers, and parents who made the second summer of overnight weekends such a success! Looking forward to next year!

4th Annual AL GILBERT Commemorative Founder's
Award
To the senior campers who best represent what ARROWHEAD is all about. The nominees this summer were:
EAGLES: Danny Oltman
PHILLIES: Caden Shuster
FLYERS: Dylan Friedland
SIXERS: Brady Boucher
EMERALDS: Ava Bell
OPALS: Madeline Bonhomme
PEARLS: Hannah Casey
SAPPHIRES: Maia Rissi
And the WINNER was…. Brady Boucher of the SIXERS for his exemplary campership; his essay below was judged the best by our directors. QUESTION # 1): What does ARROWHEAD mean to me? ARROWHEAD means so much to me. Ever since the first day I entered the Mustangs 8 years ago, I knew this was something special, and how I would want to spend my summers for as long as possible. As the years went by, how I spent my time making new friends, and doing fun activities, I will always give my all for ARROWHEAD. It’s always been my dream job as a teen to be a JC, and so I can spend as much time here as I can. QUESTION # 2): What can I do to make ARROWHEAD a better camp? Aside from having a great time here, my mission is making the camp better each day that I come in. Number one is just making sure everyone is always happy here and friendly with each other. If someone is maybe being left out or distant from the others, I’ll try to introduce them to the other campers. I even clean up the bunk every day to make sure that we can win bunk inspection. But overall, I just always have to know that the campers here can have the best camp experience as possible.
OUR SINCEREST CONGRATULATIONS TO BRADY! WE ARE ALL
EXTREMELY PROUD OF THIS SPECIAL ACCOMPLISHMENT!
IN TRIBUTE TO ALL OF THE CAMPERS AND STAFF THAT MADE OUR

COLOR WAR This summer, Color War at ARROWHEAD was Amazing! The week started with our regular
schedule, and everyone wondered “Was Color War forgotten??” But no…. on Tuesday Fire
Trucks arrived with sirens blaring to let us know that Color War had begun. Our sponsors
(donned in theme costumes) rode in on the trucks and threw water balloons and blasted water
guns to give everyone a “cool” start to our week of activities. Once in the courtyard, campers
were divided into two teams: GREEN : MINIONS and WHITE: SMURFS! It was an exciting
week of fun activities, and the score volleyed back and forth between the two teams all week.
Everything was decided on Friday afternoon during the Song Festival, and the Smurfs pulled off
an upset win to end the week. A great time was had by all, and we look forward to the next
Color War at ARROWHEAD 2017 Kings & Queens

Native American Day
Junior Campers enjoyed an Arrowhead tradition of Native American day the 7th week of camp this year. Arrowhead staff members helped the campers make necklaces & feather headdresses, had their faces painted, and played Native America Games. Chief Arrowhead came by juggling, telling Native American stories, and making campers smile and laugh. After Chief Arrowhead left, each bunk participated in a parade, where they showed off their unique Native American poster. Everyone had a great time!
PAJAMA DAY
Who says you can’t wear your pajamas to camp? Another Arrowhead tradition allows campers to wear their pajamas to camp, hear stories from their counselors, and even enjoy a midmorning breakfast in the Mess Hall. Everyone looked comfy and happy in their pajamas, even the counselors! It was a wonderful morning in Junior Camp that day!
MTV DAY
For the second year in a row, the Amphitheater provided the setting for the 2017 MTV Day. The competition was great and the senior camp girls gave their all. At the end of the competition the Sapphires were declared the winners by our esteemed panel of judges for their work on the Sweet Caroline Medley. A big congratulations goes out to all who performed.
Road Runner Race
During the seventh week of camp, we held our annual Road Runner Race. The fastest campers
from each bunk were chosen to put on their “track shoes” and run against other competitors in
their same age group. It was a beautiful day for a race, and everyone participating did a great
job! Special thanks to the counselors who ran in the counselor race.

PENTATHLON Once again, the Pentathlon proved to be one of the highlights of the end of the summer. The Pentathlon is a true test to even the most well tuned athletes. The competition includes a series of events...swimming, running and boating. The participants began their journey at Uncle Dave's pool where they swam two laps. They then ran towards the lake and competed on the canoe course. Once the boats docked the participants then ran to Uncle Joel's Archery range to compete before the winner was decided at Uncle Harry's Marksmanship range. As usual, the races were unbelievably close and a big congratulation goes out to all of the competitors for a job well done!

Team Jade took the trophy for the girls, and Team Mr. Krabs won it all for the boys. Everyone did a super job, and win or lose…. Everyone was a winner!

ROBINS MORGAN MONTEITH loves first grade. She won first place in lead line and second place in
walk-trot for the 2017 Merrylegs horse show series and is also busy with swimming.
Intermediate Girls
HOPIS ISABEL PIPICH’S 2nd grade class at The Agnes Irwin School took on the monumental task of
creating their own Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade for the entire school. They worked with all
their teachers across all the subjects to create (completely on their own!!!) their very own
parade balloons. They paraded in the upper school to the cheers of all the girls. It was a sight
to see! SOPHIA DEVITO, along with her parents, brother and Grandpa, had their very first
airplane ride to Florida to spend time with family for vacation. While there, her parents
surprised them by taking them to Disney World to meet Mickey and to Sea World to see the
orcas.
