Campers and staff for generations have enjoyed the traditions of Friday nights at Camp Towanda. In this episode, we examine what makes Friday night at camp so special.

Our entire camp family eats together three times a day, at every meal. We take the podcast inside the Mess Hall this week for a peek inside one of the most spirited places at Camp Towanda.

Camp Towanda has staff from more than 20 countries and 30 states! In this episode of Beyond the Bugle, we examine how our staff and campers from around the world impact our camp's culture.

Camp Towanda's "Big Brother/Sister" and "Little Brother/Sister" program has been running for decades. On this episode of Beyond the Bugle, we follow along as new campers ("littles") meet their "bigs", returning older campers. Many of them have spoken by mail and phone over the winter to prepare for the summer.

In January 2016, we hosted the second Annual Camp Towanda Book Club discussing the book "Homesick and Happy" by Michael Thompson Phd with some of our our new and seasoned camp parents. This book is a must-read for all our camp families and senior staff as it shares wisdom and advice why time away from parents helps children grow and become more independent, confident and successful people. Mitch and Stephanie Reiter share their 27+ years of experience as Directors of Camp Towanda, on how you and your child can have a successful summer at camp by applying the philosophy of this book to your own parenting.
