We’re super excited to have Sophie back for her 3rd summer as a staff member.
Sophie is loving her freshman year at Ithaca college majoring in Occupational Therapy. In her spare time, she plays the trumpet as well as the piano.
Her favorite memories of FV have taken place at our 4th session’s Hirdstock. She loves the ” happiness, joy, music, and tye-dye. What could be better?!” Even the picture she gave us was from Hirdstock!
She loves the inclusiveness that is offered. Sophie believes that “when you include people in what you’re doing, that’s how you make lifelong friends.”
For Sophie “Frost Valley is an awesome place and I feel the most happy when I’m there!”

There was a little froggy!
Sitting on a log!
He rooted for the other team, he had no sense at all!
He fell into the water!
Bumped his little head!
And when he came above the water this is what he said:
Go, go, go,
go Lakota/Outpost
Fight, fight, fight,
fight Lakota/Outpost
Win, win, win,
win Lakota/Outpost
Go, fight, win!
Bash their little faces in!

We are excited to have Rebecca back for her fourth summer working Lakota village!
Rebecca is currently a sophomore at Quinnipiac University studying communications and marketing.
Some of her favorite parts of camp are “making s’mores with the campers on the overnights, waterfront, time spent with just the village, and the happiness and familiarity that comes with hooplah.”
Rebecca’s favorite value is respect. She believes “you have to earn respect of others” and is a key part of all relationships.
Some of her fondest camp memories will always be at Olympix as well as enjoying the rain by playing in the mud.
We can’t wait to share with you all of the staff coming back this summer!

Yesterday was our 40th anniversary of Hirdstock!
Back in 1969 when Woodstock was occurring only 45 minutes away, the entire camp (campers & staff!) wanted to attend the event. Of course the camp director couldn’t allow it, so Frost Valley YMCA did the second best thing. They brought the concert to the Valley. Since that year, every 4th session there has been a Hirdstock.
Yesterday’s event was a great way to celebrate the 40 years of peace and love. Since all of camp was together, we uploaded a seperate gallery full of Hirdstock pictures. Please click here to view the pictures at our SmugMug site. The same password applies to all of the galleries.
