Hi Everyone!
We can't wait to see all of your smiling faces on June 21st! One thing that everyone needs to take care of to stay at camp is making sure your health forms are filled out correctly! The BSA Health Form FAQ answers alot of the basic questions. The most important FAQ is that every camper is required to have a physical done annually. The interpretation of "annual" is below direct from BSA: 

Q. What is meant by "Annual"?
A. An AHMR is valid through the end of the 12th month from the date it was administered by your medical provider. For example, a physical administered March 3, 2014, would be valid until March 31, 2015. The AHMR in use before March 1, 2014, will be valid only until April 1, 2015, and only if it was completed before April 1, 2014.



So, if you got a physical done June 1st, 2013 it is good until July 1st, 2014 (and this year's camp week!)

Health forms can be found on the homepage of our LMC website, or on the Camp Workcoeman website under "Resident Camp Medical Forms". 

Yay camp!

A big thanks goes out to Dr. Dan D'Addio, who stepped in last minute to conduct the orchestra this year after our original director fell ill (we hope you are feeling better Chris!). Of course, big thanks also go out to our other directors: Scott Friend, Gary Blu, and Jeremy Milton!

This summer, our week ending concert will be held at East Hartford Middle School. This is a great concert facility in central CT that the senior staff had the opportunity to tour over the past weekend. The concert is on Friday June 28th at 7PM. 
Good note: some staff found that when simply putting EHMS into their GPS they were lead to the High School instead. Please enter the address to get to the right school: 777 Burnside Avenue East Hartford CT 06108

We still have a few spots left for the upcoming camp season, especially for male voices in choir and background instruments (horn, bass clarinet, bassoon etc). Although our official application deadline has passed, we will still accept applications to fill these spots. Any questions can be directed to registrarLMC@gmail.com. 

Have a great day!

Happy April Vacation!

- On our Facebook page, we recently posted a survey regarding the last day of school. We realize many school districts had many days tacked on to the end of the school year due to snow/hurricane days. Please take a moment to answer the survey, ESPECIALLY if you are a HS student in CT. In the past, we have worked with students individually that have needed to leave camp for a graduation ceremony or exams. If you have any questions, please contact our registrar Kim Friend at registrarLMC@gmail.com. This survey will help us plan accordingly and make sure that we can accommodate having everyone come to camp while still making sure the camp experience is positive for everyone, no matter when their summer starts. 

- The BSA health forms can be found here on the Camp Workcoeman website. Please note every staff member and camper must have had a physical done within 12 calendar months of camp. 

- The registration deadline is fast approaching! SEND THOSE FORMS IN! To guarantee a spot at camp, please have your registration sent in by MAY 10TH!!!! Thats less than a month away! Oh My!

Thanks everyone!
