For several years and for many reasons, I have been inspired to write something about September Camp. As many of you remember, my Dad wrote a Christmas letter as did his siblings – it was a TSC institution. Once we resurrected the Echoes I wrote a short piece about September Camp, highlighting events and always thanking Campers and Staff for their contributions. I bowed to Swebbs’ great writing style and ability to capture the unique flavour of TSC Alumnae life. In the last few years I feel September Camp has taken a back seat – in fact a nonexistent role in any communication to our alumnae.

I wrote a lengthy piece about the 2006 edition of September Camp – it was spectacular in so many ways - to be accompanied by some wonderful pics by, now professional, photographer Barb Swanson.

Then I thought: why should I be exclusively writing about something about which so many feel strongly. A section committed to our memories of September Camp could be great thing. When I passed the idea by someone they thought it sounded like a Blog (I had to ask my kids what that meant – Web Log). I think that’s exactly what it could be –The September Camp Blog.

I invite everyone to contribute with thoughts, comments, commendations, memories from this year or yesteryear and of course photos. It’s meant to be casual, fun and even spontaneous. I’ll join the Blog myself shortly. Oh yes, I did include Barb Swanson’s photographs – thanks Barb.

… and thanks in advance to all of you who take up the challenge and contribute to this space.
