We’ve Got Kind Campers
At Camp Chen-A-Wanda, kindness isn’t just something we encourage, it’s who we are. It is the foundation of our community and the bedrock upon which we define success. Long after the scores are forgotten and the ribbons are put away, what matters most is how we treat one another. We expect our campers and counselors to lead with kindness, show respect, include others, and make every person feel that they belong. Those simple acts have the power to change someone’s entire day, and they are what make Chenny such a special place. We love celebrating the people who consistently live these values because we want them to know just how proud we are of the example they set for our community. Being recognized as a Kind Camper is one of the highest honors at camp. It represents the very best of what Chenny stands for, and it is with tremendous pride that we introduce our very first Kind Campers of Summer 2026.

The perfect day deserved the perfect ending, and that’s exactly what we had tonight.
Our evening was one giant dance party with the one and only RAK Dan, who has a way of getting every single camper and counselor on their feet. There really is no better way to describe it than pure fun. From the very first song, the Rec Hall was filled with smiling faces, synchronized dances, nonstop laughter, and an energy that was absolutely electric. It didn’t matter if you were seven or sixteen, a first-year camper or a longtime counselor, everyone was dancing together as one camp family. If you’ve ever experienced a RAK Dan dance party, you know that nothing else compares. He brings an excitement and joy that is uniquely Chenny, and somehow every year he raises the bar even higher.
For our older campers, the excitement continued as they had the opportunity to watch the England vs. Mexico World Cup match together. The cheers, chants, and excitement echoed throughout camp as our soccer-loving campers and staff rallied behind every goal, save, and incredible play. It was another reminder that some of the best camp memories aren’t just created by participating, they’re created by experiencing something together.
It was an outstanding day from sunrise to bedtime, filled with so much laughter, friendship, celebration, and unforgettable moments. Days like today remind us just how lucky we are to call this place home for the summer.
Life is Great at Chenny!
