Camp Legends: A Double H Ranch Podcast

During this episode, Jacqui and Kate talk about the changes they have experienced this past year and also talk to Dr. Gerry Florio.  Dr. Gerry is a Clinical Health Psychologist at Glens Falls Hospital and also provides Double H with psych-social support throughout the year.  Dr. Gerry talks about the changes he has seen over the past year, how to cope with those changes and why camp is so important to him.  Please enjoy!

Join Pezz, Griff, and a whole slew of campers and counselors this week as they share how they find the joy that is all around them both during this crazy pandemic and every day in their lives. 

It has been a year since we shut our doors to in-person programming and moved to virtual programs in the face of the COVID-19 pandemic.  We knew that this episode had to contain lots of joy, so we turned to two long-time Double H volunteers to bring us that joy.  Pat and Dom are amazing humans and camp volunteers and shared with us the magic and memories of camp and how they have coped with such a different and difficult year.    Get ready to laugh, smile, and take a trip down memory lane with the Martinos!  

Join Pezz and Griff as they interview two different sets of people whose friendships started at Double H! First, Griffin and Regan show us the beautiful bond between campers that can arise at camp and continue beyond. Then, we have Marquise (Shamu) and Parker, whose counselor-camper friendship is one of mutual inspiration and respect. Also catch an exclusive recording of one of our camp songs, and this month's riddle! 

Camp fills our hearts up with love and for this February edition of Camp Legends, we talk to three people who love camp in very meaningful ways.  Chris Woll and Kate Woll met at the Double H Ranch and Jacqui chats with them about finding love at camp and how camp has impacted their lives.  Dr. Ray Walsh is a camp legend and Kate talks with him about how his love of camp and the mission of camp-inspired their whole family to get involved with Double H.  Enjoy and Happy Valentine's Day!

The second episode of Camp Legends is a Kid Takeover edition. In this episode, Chris (Pezz) Pezzulo and Alex (Griff) Griffen interview two campers about their camp experiences, share the Double H story during Storytime, and try to stump our campers with some riddles! They ask an older camper, Jason, and a younger camper, Ellie, how they think camp began, and how their camp stories started. 

This first episode is focused on  "Camp Origins."  Kate Walsh and Jacqui Royael interview Double H CEO Max Yurenda and the daughters of our founders, Charlene Wood and Clea Newman and share what they learned "because of camp".
