If you had told me in early March that the word ‘Zoom’ would begin to dictate my everyday profession, I probably would have laughed. Those who know it, know that it’s not just a software. It’s now a lifestyle. Quickly we all began to make the shift, which for me included not just in my work as a classroom teacher, but in my administrative position at Tripp Lake as well. Have YOU ever tried to teach Leslie about breakout rooms? She’ll be the first to say it’s been a wild virtual ride!
I say this all in light jest, because it is truly remarkable how these apps and computer programs have allowed us to connect across the state, the country, and even the globe. We’ve felt so incredibly lucky to watch as we’ve invited our Tripp Lake family (campers and staff) to join on Zoom calls. It provided connection during the long winter months when we brought our current campers together to sing some OTW songs. It reminded us of the incredibly strong alumni network that were so thrilled to be together virtually… that many stayed on afterwards chatting just because they didn’t want the Zoom to end! We also had the incredible delight in hosting our first ‘Virtual Camp’ Zoom meeting with our youngest campers, the Juniors. Together with members of Admin and key staff, we played BINGO and scavenger hunt games, listened to returning campers talk about the Promised Land with our newest girls, and even had a couple of raffle surprises in store by the end! It left every seven-year-old with a huge smile on their face.
For those of you who are Camper Alum, we invite you to click on the YouTube link here, which has a recording of the ‘Virtual Singing of the Traditional Songs.” Make sure to check it out if you were unable to attend, or you’re just feeling summer nostalgia! We also recommend registering to our Camp Minder and Alumni360 websites, which seek to connect all of our Tripp Lake ladies, past and present. From there, you will always receive emails, notifications, and updates regarding our favorite oasis in Maine. For example, we have a ‘breakout rooms’ alumni Zoom in the planning works… so you’ll want to stay tuned for that! Leslie’s an expert now 🙂
Below is a list of the Alum who registered for our Zoom call. Thank you so much for sharing your time and your love of Tripp Lake with us. For those who were unable to make it, we hope you will join us next time! You all belong to Tripp Lake, and Tripp Lake truly belongs to all of you.
