Social Distancing, Part IV: You Get What You Need

December 17, 2020 by Stacy Pollack

Whenever I start to worry about how much of a hot mess I’m becoming during this pandemic, I take comfort in knowing that the world is full of hot messes who, even at the height of their hot messiness, have done some pretty amazing things. Take Keith Richards. He’s been the face of the hot mess for generations. And yet, he’s also a musical genius who co-wrote a song so exquisite and profound, they ...

Social Distancing, Part III: Who Says You Can’t Go Home?

July 22, 2020 by Stacy Pollack

There’s a Bon Jovi song I love called “Who Says You Can’t Go Home?” If you’ve been around a while, you may have heard me use it in one of my earlier camp montages, and… SPOILER ALERT… I can’t imagine not using it in the next one. It’s almost too perfect. The only difference between using it now vs. then is that it used to be a rhetorical question. Over the last few weeks, we spent six days on the ...

Social Distancing, Part II: Missing Pieces

April 23, 2020 by Stacy Pollack

At the beginning of all this, when the concept of quarantining to protect ourselves from the novel coronavirus was still, well… novel, we started doing puzzles. It began with the four of us, but now it’s down to me and Max. Not the quarantining— trust me, all four of us are still present and accounted for every single second of every single day— but the puzzling. After completing a few that we had ...

Social Distancing, Part 1: Reflections, Connections, Reality Checksions

March 27, 2020 by Stacy Pollack

I was an English major. I know checksions isn't a real word. I also know that today is the 11th day my kids were supposed to be in school but aren’t. So yes, I flashed my poetic license. Most days, I am overwhelmed by how lucky we are to have our health, each other, and pretty much everything we need. That’s not to say I haven’t lost perspective along the way. I was far more choked up about ...

Warm Hearts, Cold Feet

February 14, 2020 by Stacy Pollack

Today is February 14th. Valentine’s Day. I will dig up something red to wear. If I can find the heart necklace Micah gave me for our first Valentine’s Day, I’ll wear that, too. It is freezing out. And yet, I will do what I do every other day of the year: Think. About. Camp. Thinking about camp is my full-time job. I’m pretty lucky, right? I get to work at a place where our biggest selling point ...

Be Nice. We Mean It.

November 20, 2019 by Stacy Pollack

At drop-off this past summer, you may have seen our leadership team wearing a yellow Bauercrest t-shirt with a lot of words on the back. Despite the commotion of move-in day, I hope you had a few seconds to read them, because they will tell you everything you need to know about who we are as a camp and what we expect of all those who call it home. Throughout my time at Bauercrest, I have had ...

Cheryl
My son has had a wonderful experience as a camper. Staying at home for the summer was boring for him and frustrating for me. Attending camp has allowed him to be active, have fun and feel included in a small community.
