Directors’ Message

Dear Camp Families,

We hope this letter finds you and yours celebrating a joyful and peaceful New Year! As we look forward to our upcoming days at Lochearn in the summer of 2016, we want to take this time to reflect on 2015.

Stacie was delighted to be named Teacher of the Year at her middle school in the fall. Camp allows us to grow as individuals and leaders. The skills that are gained at summer camp are directly felt in our lives in the biggest and smallest of ways. Through lessons and accomplishments garnered while on the shores of Lake Fairlee, Camp continues to shape our future in so many positive aspects.

The fall and winter have been busy, as we have been meeting with new families who are looking forward to joining Lochearn. Tony has made trips to New York City, Boston, and New Jersey. We were very thankful to enjoy some real quality family time at Lochearn during the week of Thanksgiving.

We have loved receiving holiday cards from our campers and their families. Thank you for updating us on your endeavors and successes during the school year. We’re so glad to have the most amazing campers at Lochearn. We can’t wait to see you at camp!

Happy New Year!

Directors’ Message

Dear Camp Families,

As the sun sets on Summer Camp 2015, Lochearn’s 99th year, we’d like to take a moment to thank our campers, parents, and staff. Thank you for your continued support and for another wonderful summer. Cheers of “How do you feel?” still resonate through our heads as we reflect on our time on Lake Fairlee together.

Sunday night campfires continued to be a time when important life lessons and personal triumphs filled our hearts and minds with a “deeper understanding of the beauty about us.” Alumnae delighted us with their visits and made these moments even more complete as they shared their favorite memories from the decades of Lady Lochearn. Our tennis and riding programs topped the list in terms of quality instruction. “We are jogging” became a favorite way to greet each other around camp. The arts continued to shine with beautiful ceramics and bracelets, and our productions of Annie showcased the girls’ theatrical talent.

As we prepare for an amazing 100th year at Lochearn, let us remember “to make the whole camp happier for our being here.” All of you certainly did that in 2015, and we look forward to next summer with “an open mind and a kind and caring heart.”

Happy Camping,

Lochearn Alumnae

2016 marks the 100th Year since Lochearn’s establishment on the shores of Lake Fairlee. Alumnae can stay up-to-date on all that is happening and connect with camp friends and cabin mates by registering in our Alumni Guestbook. Visit the Guestbook today and let us know when you attended or worked at Lochearn and what you’re up to!

We will begin planning for the 100th Year Anniversary in the Fall and want to make sure our alumnae are involved and in the loop. Thank you!

Coach Aldo Santiago

We are proud to welcome Aldo Santiago from Mount Holyoke, an all-girls college, join our staff this summer as the Head of Tennis! Aldo has 22 years of head coach experience at Mount Holyoke College, where he has coached two nationally ranked players, a NEWMAC Player of the Year and three NEWMAC Rookies of the Year. We are lucky to have a leader with such a high caliber of coaching and an inspiration to teach beginners and help experienced campers reach a new level of play. Aldo truly believes in motivating young women to foster a passion and life-long love for tennis.

Importance of Quality Instruction

Lochearn_2014Highlights_468 It is an exciting time of year as we are putting the final details in place and getting ready to open camp for the summer of 2015! We have an incredible staff who are dedicated to helping our campers learn and grow by trying new things and improving in the activities they already love. The number one goal of our counselors is to provide quality instruction to our extremely talented and bright campers. During the summer, everyone at camp becomes a great team working toward the unified goal of “making the whole camp happier for our being here.”

We’re looking forward to an unbelievable summer in all of our program areas, and we are so excited to welcome back many of our program area leaders. Miranda Bohl will be coming back as the Head of Riding, and has been working diligently in choosing new horses and bringing back many from last summer. We are also really excited to have our much-loved Lisa Malcom returning as the Head of Athletics to build on our intercamp games and tournaments, and continue to have quality instruction in all field sports.
