Message from our Assistant Director
Hi everyone! My name is Wade LeBlanc, and I’ll be the Assistant Director at Bridgton Sports Camp this summer. As a young adult, I spent six summers working as a camp counselor and was fortunate to meet Koop, our BSC Director. At the time, I had no idea how long lasting our friendship, and my passion for the camping business, would be.
I’ve been invested in Bridgton Sports Camp since its conception in the fall of 2010, and was very eager to see it come alive last summer. For medical reasons, I was unable to join the BSC team at that time. However, now that I’m 100% healthy, I can’t wait to join you all for a FANTASTIC summer.
As a middle school math teacher in Nova Scotia, Canada I know the importance of creating a fun, yet purposeful, atmosphere for youth, whether they’re learning about algebra or how to score goals. I LOVE camp, and promise to bring all of my energy and enthusiasm to the table this summer. I can’t wait to visit all of the sport programs, watch a ball game at the Player’s Lounge, and meet all of the campers and counselors that form the BSC family.
As a member of the camping community, I think that it’s very important to set goals for the summer. My main goal is to go ice skating. Even though I’m Canadian, I haven’t been on a pair of ice skates in 13 years. Brace yourselves!
The countdown is on. Only a few short weeks until the first session begins. See you there!
February update
The good news is that camp is only 4 months away! I wish we had a colder winter and a better ski season but with spring, comes a renewed excitement for camp. I am back in Philadelphia for 2 weeks before hitting the road again and thought it was a good time to update the BSC community.
Over the past few months I have been traveling all over the country visiting our new and existing families. I also had the chance to sit down with Scott (assistant director) when I was down in Florida and Stone (head counselor) in Maryland. Both are doing well and we had the opportunity to talk about camp and some great additions & changes we will be implementing this summer. We will have a complete update in our Spring Newsletter. Speaking of the newsletter, we have begun putting it together and could use your help. If you have anything that is newsworthy or think should be included, please email it to us at [email protected]. Currently enrolled families, you will receive a separate newsletter that will help you prepare your child for camp. It will contain information on our policies and procedures, travel to/from camp, a packing list, and much more.
Our early enrollment ends this Monday, March 5. You can take advantage of this discount by enrolling online by Monday night. If you have any questions call the office at 866-283-5943.
I am back on the road beginning March 14, with the ACA Camp Conference in Atlantic City. This is a great way to connect with other directors to talk about camp while sharing ideas. After the conference I am driving up to camp for a few meetings. I’ll be making stops along the way in NY, CT, MA, NH, and ME for home visits. For new families this is the perfect opportunity to learn more about Bridgton and have all your questions answered. Please call the camp office if you’re a new family interested in learning more about BSC.
That’s all for now! I hope everyone has a great spring break and BSC families, look for the newsletter in your mailbox this April.
