CAMP TECUMSEH Alumni and Friends Golf Outing a success!

The 2nd Annual was another success! Held at Sunnybrook Golf Club in Plymouth Meeting, PA, about

40 players came out on a perfect day of Fall weather to benefit the Blue-Gray Fund. Thanks to the

players and our sponsors, we were about to make a gift to the Blue-Gray Fund of about $3,000! We’ve

solidified the event, so make plans to join us again next year for this great Fall Golf Outing!

Worth Magazine Ranks Camp Tecumseh

the #3 Summer Camp in the WORLD!

Yes, you read it correctly. The world. Long time CT’er

Campbell Levy broke the news perfectly by writing:

“Apart from the fact that Worth magazine got it way wrong

and has CT as #3, as opposed to its rightful spot at the top,

this is pretty cool!”

Board Approves New Indoor Facility and

Breaks Ground on October 27th, 2010

Camp Tecumseh’s Board of Trustee’s did their homework and landed on the decision to go

ahead with the construction of an indoor, multi-purpose facility that will be ready for use during

Summer ’11! As you can see, the building will keep to the original style of the existing buildings

on campus and fit in seamlessly! The building will be erected on top of the old hockey court and

next to the basketball courts. The facility is 8,000 square feet and will feature:

A multi-purpose, composite flooring

A full length basketball court with 2 courts running side-by-side - 6 total hoops

A new Woodshop

Lobby with awards/memorabilia display

Full length porch

3 large swing open doors for nice days

There are many good reasons that went into the decision to add this building, none more signifi-

cant than to combat the problem of inactivity during consecutive wet days. As more campers

choose to stay a week or two less than the full stay for various reasons, the Camp’s programs

can no longer afford to lose more than a day of action. This building allows the programs and

outside competition to run uninterrupted regardless of the weather. We will consistently keep

you updated through the Newsletters as to the progression of our new building!

ALUMNI WORK WEEK

Thursday, June 23rd - Sunday, June 26th, 2011

Come up to Camp for a long weekend or a part of the weekend and help us get

Camp together for the summer! Sleep in the cabins, eat in the dining hall, run a

high noon, swim in the lake, go to JoJo’s, bbq at the waterfront at night...and get

put to work by Mr. Fraser and Mr. Glascott for a few hours! Oh yea, and get a

first look at the new indoor facility! More details released next month!!

With our books closed on September 30th, the Blue-Gray Fund reached the $150,000 goal for the

first time in many years! Thanks to all of you, we raised about 15% more than last year - which

bucks the national trend of being down 11%! We were able to offer that much more financial

aid and scholarships to qualified and deserving families. We haven’t hit the $150,000 number in

many years and we thank you for your recommitment and generosity to get us back to that level!

As demand for financial assistance becomes greater and the need to attract the right campers

away from other summer specialty camps grow, your support of the Blue-Gray Fund has never

been more important. There are many elements that make Camp Tecumseh the greatest place

on Earth, but none are more important than great campers. With your support of the Blue-

Gray Fund, we can continue to fill Camp each summer. The Annual Report and 2010-11 Blue-

Gray Fund appeal will be in the mail soon, so keep Tecumseh in your charitable gift plans!

THANK YOU!!!THANK YOU!!!THANK YOU!!! 2009-10 BLUE-GRAY FUND REACHES GOAL OF $150,000!

Recently Henry Roosevelt (CT 1998-2009) made the transition

from The Opera House to The Big Screen in the up and com-

ing major motion picture, The Social Network

(The Facebook Movie). The first scene Henry is in is about 20

minutes in-- the rowing scene. He is wearing a bandana and,

typical of a true Tecumseh man, a Camp Tecumseh Shirt

(although you might not be able to make out the CT). Then

other quick scene is 40 minutes in, where he is eating a burger

with 3 of the principal actors in a diner as they go over a text

message. Here is a link to the trailer. Henry's scene is included

for a brief second at the 01:23 mark of the clip. Henry plans on

pursuing more roles on the big screen and promises to repre-

sent CT as much as possible. He is also already 60 pages into a

Tecumseh Screenplay, "The Counselor's Handbook"!
