We continue to try and keep up with the future; however it is people and places that create memories and importance in our lives. When a camper says on Camper Counselor Day, “This was the best day of my life” or “Aunt Ellen how come camp is only in the summer?” it reaffirms just how important camp is in the lives of our children. Camp continues to give kids a world of good- it encourages wonder, promotes activity, invites questions and repeats traditions. We have come a long way since 1956 and throughout the decades our focus has remained constant: the smiles, the laughter, the friendships and safety of our campers. Our staff is priceless, Our parents are valuable, Our campers are treasures. ARROWHEAD is ageless! To everyone involved in our 2007 camp season- we thank you for continuing to make the traditions of ARROWHEAD DAY CAMP a success! OUR SUMMERS ARE ALWAYS GREAT……..ARROWHEAD IN 2008! Yours for better campingAunt Ellen Gilbert Uncle Howie Gilbert 2 JUNIOR CAMP It's hard to believe that this summer is almost over. Where did the time go? I think fondly of all of the fun times with each of the junior campers. I love when the Cubs all learned to wipe their faces after lunch so they could race to computers, the Squabs laughing when Uncle Mark called them the squible-squables and singing their “Mighty Squabies” song. The Parakeets being so happy that they won bunk inspection and Sport Logo prizes on the same day, while the Beavers were thrilled to ride the racetrack at big wheels. It was great to see the Penguins create a beautiful banner together in arts and crafts and to watch the Wolves race down the hill to see who could catch the largest fish at the lake. Of course I will never forget the Robins and their songs; they always volunteered to sing and dance for the entire Junior camp during lunch. Last but not least, the Mustangs had the best challenging games of soccer and ga-ga in the arena. Thanks so much to all of the counselors, junior counselors, and most of all campers for a fabulous summer of 2007. Aunt Sonya Korinth- Junior Camp Director INTERMEDIATE CAMP What a summer! Our Intermediate Camp has proved once again why we are the best camp at ARROWHEAD. At Soccer League the boys are participating in the Shrek the Third League and the competition could not be better. Team Prince Charming has taken the lead but Team Donkey is right on their heels. The girls are playing in the Happy Feet League and tearing up the field with Team Mumbles and Team Gloria playing well. The playoffs for both leagues will be very intense and nothing short of thrilling. With 2 weeks left we still have the ever popular Roadrunner Race and Scavenger Hunt. Get ready to end the summer on a great note as we kick it up one more notch! Uncle Brian Witt- Intermediate Camp Director SENIOR CAMP It has been a fantastic and most enjoyable summer at Camp Arrowhead for our campers. The weather has been great and allowed our campers to improve their skills with our expert instructors. Our leagues are up and running. Skill and luck play a role into who our champions are as new campers come and go at the four week mark. In the major Softball League there is an exciting four team race but who knows who will win the championship. There are also close races in the minor Softball League and all of our Newcomb Leagues. In the lunch time trivia, the Flyers are supreme with their all-around knowledge. Looking forward to a great time the rest of the summer and keep trying your best! Uncle Al Papsin- Senior Camp Director 3 On Friday, July 13 , ARROWHEAD turned this bad luck day into an exciting one. Hats galore were adorned with everything from flavorful candy to exotic clothing to an entire breakfast meal. Competition was very tough but the following winners were chosen by our judges. Bunk winners were: Junior Camp: Parakeets and Beavers Intermediate Camp: Incas and Braves Senior Camp: Emeralds and Eagles Individual Winners were: Justin Lebeau- Cubs Sophia Verna – Shawnees Alexa Tanenbaum- Penguins Alex Waxman- Warriors Kennedy Anderson – Incas Evan Petchon- Warriors Catherine Singer- Emeralds th CRAZY HAT DAY!!!!! SPORTS LOGO DAY Eagles, Phillies, Blue Rocks, Wings & Kixx were all well represented on our annual Sports Logo Day. A variety of local soccer, baseball and dance teams were also shown with pride on numerous shirts and hats. The favorite player hands-down was Chase Utley. Overall bunk winners with the most sports teams shown were the Beavers and the Parakeets. ARROWHEAD 2007 Bunk Picture Update It was a terrific day back on Tuesday 7/10 when all Arrowheaders received their new Arrowhead t-shirts and brought their brightest smiles with them. We are currently developing all photographs. Watch your mail in mid-September, as all Arrowheaders will be receiving their 2007 8X10 glossy bunk picture. Here’s to memories in the making! PROPER FOOTWEAR AT CAMP We are informing all of our parents that sneakers and sneakers only are the appropriate footwear for your children to wear during our camp day. Any types of sandals, flip-flops, pool shoes etc. are not only inappropriate, but also dangerous. Our campers are engaged in various activities including running, jumping, climbing, etc. and sneakers are for these endeavors. Parents, we ask you to please follow our advice for the safety of your children. Thank you. SOMETHING SERIOUS- SOMETHING SWEET! Many campers at ARROWHEAD have severe food and bee sting allergies. Due to the increasing amount of campers who enjoy celebrating their birthdays at camp we have to be extra cautious. We are asking that treats be sent in for special occasions only. We are also insisting that all food of any kind be eaten inside the air-conditioned Mess Hall. This will enable us to monitor the bees, allergies and clean-up more safely. Thank you. 4 Whoa! There is a lot of bantering or should I say cantering down at the ARROWHEAD corral. Awards have already been distributed for the first four weekers and now we are trotting along into the end of camp. We are so proud of all the bunks and our riders who are working hard on rein handling, posting and saddle posture. Our horses, Pudge, Black Diamond, Moe, Gator and Snowman love the special feeding treats they receive after the ride. The Staff at Horses HORSES Here we are in another year of Marksmanship at Camp ARROWHEAD! The exciting news is our upgraded and improved rifles have been a fantastic hit with the Senior campers. Instead of pumping the rifle before shooting it’s now as simple as load, aim, and shoot! More time for precision, accuracy, and fun, so take aim and settle on the bull’s eye! The challenge is still there to be the top notch competitor in each bunk to hit the mark on the moveable silhouettes and the bright and bold sticky targets. As always, the number one priority is still safety so we make sure the campers follow the rules and tips of the instructors to ensure the success of the program. Good luck during the tournament competition! Uncle Harry and Uncle Bill Marksmanship It has been a very busy this summer in Pioneering. We have several new elements in our completely revamped low course as well as our ever popular high course. Although our primary concern is safety, we strive to keep as many campers busy on the course as possible so that everyone has a big smile when they leave us. Campers are constantly challenged to do more, go higher, and climb faster in order to better their skills and build self confidence. Although campers have stepped up to our many challenges, no one has yet completed the ultimate challenge. We are still waiting for a camper to completely spell out “Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious” while traveling down the giant zip line. Will your son/daughter be the first to meet the ultimate challenge? We can’t wait to find out. Thank you campers for the best summer job ever!

This year’s implemented suggestions included: our new “like real” golf balls at Driving Range, new observation tower at Lake Arrowhead, our new rosters/schedule which included more Senior Clubs and 5 minute intervals between periods and our super popular, more flexible 5, 6 & 7 week enrollment sessions. This year’s upcoming improvements and additions will include newly upgraded PLAYGROUND EQUIPMENT and our 2008 EARLY “PRICE FREEZE” TUITION (you spoke and we listened) and as always much, much more! Watch this space for further details and as always much, much more in our Winter ARROWHEADLINES: Please feel free to use both sides and return to: Arrowhead Day Camp 240 Dutton Mill Road West Chester, PA 19380 9 SUGGESTION BOX CON’T 10 As you can see, our campers sure have been busy these past few weeks. Here’s just a sample of what’s been going on since our last edition. BUNK NEWS GIRLS SQUABS As the Squabies march around camp singing the "Mighty, Mighty Squabies" song, everyone who hears them stops to notice the cutest and most spirited kids in camp! Our nine awesome girls continue to love their camp activities! OLIVIA SAKEL and ARIANNA MAMMUCARI fly down the zip line with screams of delight and huge grins on their faces! MADDI SEGARNICK is our Waterslide queen while SYDNEY ZUBATCH rules at Ga Ga! SOPHIE PEGG is becoming an amazing horseback rider and CAROLINE MILGRIM constantly amazes us with her dance and gymnastic skills!

Finally, ALIZA SALL is our nature girl, loving all our cool outdoor explorations! All in all, we couldn't ask for a nicer, kinder or more spectacular group of girls! Yeah, Squabies! PARAKEETS The second half of the Parakeet’s summer is moving along very interesting. The girls enjoy the Friday afternoon shows from Magic by Poly to the funny and crazy clowns. The girls keep on showing us amazing things. LINDSAY EGGERT has had a blast at Mini Golf. She almost hit a hole in one! Down by the pool, EMMY GORBERG is swimming like a fish. We have many athletes in the Parakeets. Just to name a few, RACHEL GLIKSMAN is a great goalie at Soccer. She almost blocked all the balls. EMILY GOLDBERG shows us her awesome skills at Ga Ga.

The girls enjoyed popsicles during snack for winning the weekly bunk inspection. The Penguins bunk has two experts in Pioneering: NICOLE HYNES was my rock-climbing partner and made it to the top of the high wall, while KATIE RAYNES won a special prize for being the only Penguin to complete the twisting ladder course. AYLA BLEZNAK showed off her skills in the batting cages this week, and hit the most balls out of anyone! We also have some amazing horseback riders. GIANNA JACOBSON no longer needs a lead rope when riding her favorite horse, named "Gator," while REBECCA TOREN enjoys 11 steering her horse, "Pudge," all by herself. Down at Boating & Fishing, JENNY MARGOLIS and GERI KOHN were recently awarded with their fishing licenses and have already caught tons of fish! In the Music & Dance arena, SAMI WINAWER and AMANDA CLEMENS show off their dance moves for the up-coming dance recital. Our two nature lovers LINDSAY KEITH and CASSIDY LANDAU are always enthusiastic about the experiments and projects at Nature Study. In the pool, REMY GORBERG just swam her way up to a Goldfish, and passed the deep water test. She is encouraging our newest Penguin, MAGGIE MURPHY, who is looking forward to taking the deep water test, and going down the Waterslide as well. AUNT SLOANE and JCs JENNA and CODI are very proud of the Penguins, and look forward to the rest of the summer with this great group of girls. ROBINS This summer the Robins continuously pulled together as a team to have fun. At Nature, all of our teams successfully built a house to protect an egg from breaking during the egg drop. Some of the teams clever ideas included a parachute and a cotton ball cushion. Another team you can spot is JULIA GROSSINGER and LILY GORSSINGER paddling a canoe around the lake or waving to the rest of us from the look-out tower. On the Mini Golf course, group cheers can often be heard after MEGAN KING hits another hole in one, and when ZOE KAPLAN goes down the Waterslide so fast she flies across the driveway at the bottom! If you are having trouble finding SYDNEY NAGORSKY just look up at Pioneering to see her crossing the heebee jeebee and catwalk, or during free swim you can spot her teaching Aunt Jenn how to dive. Also at the pool is ADARE TAYLOR creating great games for us all to play during swim. It’s been a great summer for the Robins and we hope to see you all back next year!

We have dominated in Ga Ga and shone brightly in Archery, Batting Cages and Boating & Fishing. SYDNEY AIBEL loves the Waterslide and SAMANTHA ROSOFF is a Mini Golf star, making the first hole-in-one for the Incas. ANNA CAPLEN has been catching fish like it’s her job! LEILA KATZ-BOYD is a pioneer in training- it’s hard to get her off the ―big-zip‖! JORDAN ROSENFELD is one of our best dodgeball players and it looks like she might have a future as a pitcher. JC’s Lexie and Mallory and I have had a wonderful time with the Incas this summer. See you in 2008! MAYANS The Mayans are continuing to have a great camp season! While they have enjoyed activities such as Crazy Hat Day, and Ga-Ga as a group, many of the Mayans shine individually. Down at Pioneering, one of the bunk’s favorite activities, SYDNEY TOWELL broke the camp ―catwalk‖ record, and BOBBI LEWIS and SAMANTHA BROTMAN climbed on the high ropes! NICOLE VITT and DEVON ELSE went down the small zipline while daredevils TAYLOR FEINMAN and SOPHIE BERGER went down the big zipline!

Up at Horses, COLLEEN TRESSEL rides around the rink with great expertise. Counselors Morgan, Sarah, and Elisabeth are excited that they have such a talented and diverse group of girls! SHAWNEES The summer is flying by and the Shawnees are taking full advantage of everything Camp Arrowhead has to offer. During Pioneering GRACE JALBOOT went flying down the big zip line, and right down the hill CLAIRE BACH got a bulls-eye at archery. At the pool, VICTORIA ECKEL-FRESTA swam her way into the Catfish, and EMMA HOGAN, CALI HOLBER and EMILY PASCHALL passed their deep water tests on the first try.

ZOE WEINER and SARAH LIPPMAN definitely have artistic ability and if you come check out the Driving Range, hitting golf balls is surely JENNA SPOONT’S specialty. Climbing up the rock wall at Pioneering takes enormous skill, but for JESSICA MEYER, JENNIFER SEIDMAN and JULIA SHREIBER it is fun, exciting, and such a thrill. Junior lifeguards, RANDI EPSTEIN and DEVON TOWELL are great with the guppies at Instructional Swim and helping out, and MARCELLA JACKSON has the best butterfly stroke- there is no doubt! ALEXANDRA BATER just loves the horses and would ride all day that is for sure; while VERONICA ECKEL-FRESTA takes the paddleboat out at boating with her friends around Lake Arrowhead for a tour.

CHRISTOPHER HENKEL joined right in with us for the last four weeks and had a blast especially at the pool. 15 BEAVERS Aunt Jen and JC’s Pete and Michael are continuing to have a great summer with our Boppin’ Beavers. The Beavers amaze us everyday with trying new things and supporting each other. ADAM MOSKOW is leading the Beavers with the most hole in ones in Mini Golf and the best shoe tying teacher for all his Beaver friends. Way to go Adam! JACK TRIEMAN has a special talent with fishing and we also think he gives the fishes secret treats because he caught three in one fishing period. While over in Gym, ZEKE KELZ, MAX FELLHEIMER, and HENRY WOLFSON show their stuff with football and the obstacle courses. Good job boys! Finally, in the swim of things JOSH STEHLE has made a remarkable advancement from standing in the pool to completely swimming like the great fish that he is. Keep up the great work Boppin’ Beavers! WOLVES Boy, has it been an eventful summer with the Wolves!

Over the last 4 weeks, BLAKE MICKMAN showed his creativity in Arts & Crafts where he mixed colors and painted his crafts like a master. Meanwhile, our sports stars MICHAEL VENTURA, BENJAMIN SAMUEL and MATTHEW COHEN hit homers at the Batting Cages and stole bases like sneaky little foxes during Tball. Good-bye Wolves, ARROWHEAD will miss you! See you next year! MUSTANGS The Mustangs have really had a blast this summer. Aunt Danielle cannot believe that is coming to an end so quickly. Her Mustangs have made her very happy and proud. EVAN COHEN in his first week at Camp Arrowhead went down the zip lines and shot a couple of holes-in-one at mini-golf. Besides being the Ga-Ga champion several times, JESSE GROSS was fantastic when he was Aunt Danielle on Camper Counselor Day. ALEXANDER KRAUSS was shocked to find his friend from school, JACK MILES, in his Mustang bunk. He jumped right into the swing of things and went down the big zip-line his very first time at Pioneering. PATRICK McDERMOTT loves to swim and play games at Computers. His brother, RONAN McDERMOTT, was great being Uncle Brian on Camper Counselor Day. He and PARKER LAURITZEN were very brave when they went down the big zip-line. Parker also did an awesome job leading the Mustangs to their activities. JAKE SILVERSTEIN showed off his athletic ability all summer. He truly shone in the Batting Cages where he got to play his favorite sport of baseball. Aunt Danielle will be very sad to say goodbye to her wonderful Mustangs. GREAT JOB THIS SUMMER BOYS!

All the boys are in full swing. ALEX WAXMAN is a super-sized, super-slider at Waterslide. He holds the new distance record. EZRA KRUGER really likes Nature; he’s donated several insects from his personal collection to the Nature hut. Most recently he discovered a beautiful ―leaf-bug‖ on the ARROWHEAD grounds- good job! CHASE MENDELL is a slick fielder and has made numerous ―web-gems‖ on the baseball diamond- keep it up! Another superstar at baseball is BRETT RICHARDS. He has a smooth swing at the plate and can really hum the ball around the infield. EVAN PETCHON says golf is his thing at ARROWHEAD. He can’t decide between Mini Golf and the Driving Range- remember drive for show- putt for dough! Keep swinging! ZACHARY STEHLE is having the best summer ever- he says his favorite part is swimming in the deep end with Uncle Jim during free swim. Keep up your big arms Zach! ANDREW WHITIG is also making a splash at the pool. He’s made it up two swim groups this year- good job! JAKE STARR is our all-star at camp.

Down by the lake Nicholas Harris caught a fish and ZACHARY WEITZ and DAVID VONDERHEIDE have been 17 dominating the Ga-Ga courts. The Navahos were very happy to welcome 5 more campers for the last four weeks. GAVIN BECKER, DAVID GREENFIELD and IAN HENKEL have all impressed us at Marksmanship. SIMON PRUSHAN and MATTHEW SHEAFFER had great aim at Archery. This summer has gone by so fast and has been so much fun! I am going to miss the Navahos bunk. Have a great school year; hopefully I’ll see many of you back next summer. Thank you for such a wonderful summer boys!! APACHES The Apaches have continued their rockin’ start this summer. Justin Spoont and Dan Mitchell continue to do a great job as the bunk’s JC’s. The new Apaches have picked up right where the others have left off with EVAN RHODES, CAMERON METZGER and SAM GOLDMAN being world-class Ga Ga players. It’s been said that HARRISON COHEN, EHTAN SAMUEL and CHASE GORBERG have the ability to swim with the fish at swimming. With these new campers, the Apaches will have a super finish to this great 2007 season. PIRATES The Pirates are in the second part of the season and are off to the same hot start as they had in the first half. The glove and bat of ALEC FISHMAN will be a great addition to the Pirates bunk as they are always challenging the Eagles to baseball games. CALEB BEARD is a natural dead eye at both Marksmanship and Archery. At the pool, TEDDY MISCHEL has moved up to barracuda and may be on the fast track to catfish. On the Basketball courts, NOAH MENDELL looks more like Andre Iguodala, making us think that he should be in the Sixers! At Ga Ga, MAX MILLER is a force to be reckoned with. As always, Terry Korinth and Dylan Mark are spectacular JC’s. We wish the entire bunk good luck in the upcoming school year! EAGLES The Eagles kicked off the second half of the summer on fire! HUNTER JOSS may be the next Olympic swimmer down at the pool. MATTHEW CLOBES catches fish with ease down at the lake. ELI GREENBLATT and SAM KEITH are sailors down at the lake, navigating the waters in canoes and paddleboats. SAM KRUGER seems like he was born with a racket in his hand at the tennis courts. MATTHEW SCHETMAN is a sharpshooter at Marksmanship. JAKE MARGOLIS and HARRISON MAYO are all-stars down at Softball. This is Uncles Nick, Eric & Jordan signing off. Enjoy the rest of your summer! PHILLIES The Phillies continue their dominance at ARROWHEAD this summer. ETHAN HELLER, ELLIOT GROSS and WILLIAM KEITH have great baseball talent. BILL FRIS and LOUIS BROWN score touchdowns at will on the football field. Down at the pool, PAUL ADDONIZIO and CHARLIE BATTERSBY swim like dolphins and JAKE GREENFIELD is our sure shot at Marksmanship. DANIEL SCOTT is always excited to fish down at Lake Arrowhead. This bunk is ready for a playoff run! 18 FLYERS The Flyers have had a great summer and it only looks like it’s going to get better. The bunk has proved itself on the baseball diamond with outstanding plays by EVAN RUBENSTEIN, ADAM SAMUEL, and STEVEN SILVERMAN. SEAN HEIDIG has been tearing it up at Team Handball. DYLAN COHEN & RYAN HEIDIG can usually be found navigating the lake and catching the fish. DIMANTHA ANDRAHENNADY and GREG CALHOUN look to be future NBA stars as they have shown great skills on the Basketball courts. ROBBIE VERNA has shown great expertise at the Archery range. ERIC DLUHY has proven to be one of the best athletes in the camp. MAX FISHMAN, TIM FRIS and JASON WYCKOFF have been great additions to the bunk. The summer of 2007 will surely go down as one of the best ever! SIXERS The Sixers started the second half of camp with continued excellent basketball competition. The Lakers and Jazz teams held the best records at the halfway point of camp, but with new 4 week campers the Suns and Spurs appear ready to improve their records. Basketball stand-outs include THATCHER BRUSILOW, JAKE HERGET, WILL TAYLOR, and TYLER YOUNGS. The Sixers continue to be the leaders of their respective teams in softball competition on Monday, Wednesday, and Friday mornings. Sixers leading the way on the softball fields are KYLE EVANS, JAKE GOLDBERG, ZACH RICHMOND, JOEL PRUSHAN, JEFF LEHRER, ALEK KORZENIOWSKI, and ANDREW FELDMAN. Any opportunity at 'Boating and Fishing" finds DANE "Pillsy" CAFFREY, AARON DEFIORE, RICHIE GALLO, MATT WEINBERG, DAN THEBERGE, and GEORGE KEITH reeling in over-sized fish, capturing turtles, and taking the occasional swim in the lake. ZACH KRATCHMAN, MIKE DEAN, RYLAN KATZWHITE, JARED ORIEL, WILL RUSSO, and EVAN SCHWARTZ are Sixers who enjoy all activities including Football, Hockey, Volleyball, Marksmanship, Archery, and Ga-Ga. The Sixers traveled to Camp Kwebek and participated in softball and basketball competition. Rainy-day schedule provided an opportunity to travel to Devon Bowling Lanes and the Sixers promptly showed their ability to score strikes and pick up spares. The bunk hopes to make a trip to Green Lane Camp and compete in softball and basketball competition there. JC Zach Cetlin continues to model sportsmanship and works with every camper in the bunk to ensure all Sixers participate in the many activities Camp Arrowhead has to offer. As camp winds down with the "water and land" carnivals, the Sixers bunk has proven to be great group this year. 19 MENU Monday 8/6 Build Your Own TURKEY BURGER Tasty Baked Beans Cherry Freeze Pops Tuesday 8/7 “Breakfast 4 Lunch” PANCAKES Sticky Syrup Fruit Medley Delicious Danish Wednesday 8/8 Uncle Mark’s MAC & CHEESE Tossed Salad Juicy Peaches Thursday 8/9 Soft Shell TACOS Salsa, Lettuce, Tomato & Cheese Chilled Pears Monday 8/13 ENGLISH MUFFIN PIZZA Crunchy Carrot Sticks Red Delicious Apples Tuesday 8/14 Gooey GRILLED CHEESE Tomato Salad Juicy Florida Oranges Wednesday 8/15 PENNE PASTA Mixed Greens Philly Soft Pretzel Thursday 8/16 ARROWHEAD’S 52nd BIRTHDAY PARTY!
