Camp Cast

WE ARE BACK!!! The summer has officially begun and we are back with more episodes of the Camp Cast. Each day we'll dive deep into what's going on at camp, talk to campers and counselors about their day and their overall camp experience, and share all the inside scoop about Menominee. Today we bring on the CITs to welcome everyone to our 96th summer at camp. Enjoy!!

On this episode of the podcast Jason brings on some of his best friends/family from his time at camp. The group comes out swinging with camp grudges, then they dive deep into all the topics you love (and some new ones) like:

There are some call outs, shout outs, stories we have never heard, takes that are beyond hot, and much more. Enjoy!

On this episode of the Camp Cast, Jason spends some time at the beginning talking about our good friend and CM brother Scott Marcus, who tragically passed last week. Scott, who won the Nate Wasserman Award in 2001 (along with Joe Klein) was a camp legend and all around amazing person who we loved dearly. As mentioned on the podcast, please check out all the memories and stories that Scott's former cabin mates, co-counselors, peers, and campers are sharing on social media.

While there's no easy way to transition away from this, we can try. Much like Scott, the Nate Wasserman award winner in 2013 Andrew Blechman has an infectious personality that people absolutely LOVE being around. Blechman comes on the podcast in our next Alumni Spotlight with some extremely HOT takes, some heartfelt memories, advice, and amazing stories. We hope you enjoy this conversation as much as we did recording it!
