Coming Soon: The Boojum’s Wire
The Boojum’s Wire is a new monthly newsletter created by and for the alumni of Camp Henry. As all alumni of Camp Henry know, camp is a sacred place—one which is not tied to the physical location of camp but rather holds an unbreakable bond with the people that make up Camp Henry. We experience extraordinary growth and are surrounded by unconditional love while a part of camp, whether that be as campers, CIT’s/LAMPers, staff members, nurses, and chaplains, but we tend to experience a great sense of loss when our time at the physical Camp Henry is over. This newsletter aims to hold onto that sense of community and bring us back together again to experience Camp Henry even after we have sailed forth.
This newsletter is a curated collection of stories, art, photographs, reflections, and so much more from Camp Henry alumni. In participating in and sharing this newsletter, you are keeping the love and community of camp alive past the memories of camp. More information on how and what to submit to The Wire is available on Camp Henry’s social media and questions can be directed to theboojumswiresubmissions@gmail.com. You can subscribe to The Boojum’s Wire on Substack and get the newsletter directly to your email!
