• Back to school...Already? -- Elena Karlsen-Ayala, 21:20:20 08/26/09 Wed
  Hey Girlies!
  School starts tomorrow : ( And I wish I was able to say I was feeling so much better and ready for school. Sadly, I've been feeling worse and worse since I've gotten home. This stupid illness has had a second wind and come back and made me as sick as I was when I left camp for a few days. However, school starts tomorrow and so I can't take time off to just chill and relax. What I thought was a basic flu- may be turning into a worse illness...I'll keep you posted for when I do start to feel better. But I wish I had the cheer from camp to make me feel better. Its strange being home- I miss everyone dearly. Keep in touch! my email is karlsenayala@yahoo.com
  I'd love to hear what your up to! Good luck to everyone who starts school soon.
  xxElena

• Missing Home -- Missy Magaliff (:-(), 14:51:14 08/22/09 Sat
  Wow. I've only been away from my home underneath the pine trees for 3 hours and already it's felt like an eternity. It's unbelievable how fast the time flies. WE ALL SHOULD STOP BLINKING!!! :-). Well thanks to all of you at farwell, i've had another phenomenal summer with the best girls (and some guys) i could have ever asked for. To the CIT's: thanks for all of the support and friendships we have made. Banquet and everything else we did was amazing and i can't wait to see all of you soon. And to all of my friends and the staff, thanks for believing in us (the CIT's) that we could do banquet and help lead the camp. Sure as we know we needed the support to finally pull it together. We couldn't have done it without any one of you. And to everybody, thanks for making my summer at farwell 2009 one of the best. I love and miss you all! <3

  I've been home for barley any time at all, and i've already been sucked back into my boring reality. I love how at farwell im always happy and doing something. That never happens at home. It's not only the place. No, its mostly the people. I miss you all like crazy! I love you all. See you next year!

• Back Home :( -- Kathleen D, 18:37:54 08/23/09 Sun
  Hey Everyone,
  So i just got home about a half hour ago after saying my last goodbye, and am really missing all my friends from underneath the pines. Today was really tough, saying goodbye to all the counselors, and for me it was spread out throughout the day, so it seemed to drag on forever. I really hope everyone has an amazing time in their travels or at least on their journey home. Tizzy and Amina, it was great to see you when i dropped Irati off. My Campers: Aude, Victoria, Alice, Cameron, Morgan, Alison, Katie, Martha, Molly, Madison, Mikhal, Kayla, and Ziada: Thanks for the awesome summer, it wouldn't have been the same without you guys!!
  
  Even though this was my 7th summer at farwell, it was definitely my favorite. I so enjoyed spending over 9 weeks up there instead of my usual 3. Thanks to all the campers, staff, and directors who made the summer what it was.
  
  I hope everyone will keep using the message board throughout the year, i know i will. I'm going away for a week, but it will be one of the first things i will check when i come home.
  
  Missing everyone tons,
  Kathleen

• Second Session- Just around the corner -- Elena Karlsen-Ayala, 22:19:07 07/27/09 Mon
  Hello Farwell Gals,
  I'm not positive if Farwell still posts the occasional message outside the dinning hall, or rather if anyone bothers to read them. However if you're like me you're probably trailing along the front deck waiting for dinner to start while sticking your nose into something to read on the front board. Well finally it looks like we've gotten some good summer weather down in CT, I'm not sure how the mountains of Vermont are fairing out with the sunshine. This is my final week at home so I've been packing and getting together last minute things so I can head off to my home under the pine trees. I hope everyone is having a blast at camp, I'm sure reguardless of the weather, you are all having fun. And some little bird told me the staff was tremendous this summer--hard to imagine Bob and Charyl having anything less than extradordinary. Today was my last day working at the hospital for this summer, and in about 4 days I'll being hitting the highway and traveling up to see all the beautiful smiling faces at camp. And an extra thanks for whoever uploads the pictures- they always put a smile on my face after a long day at work. For those of you who I may not see this summer, best of luck for the school year and I hope to hear from you all.
  With All the Love in the World,
  -Elena Karlsen-Ayala : )

• I miss you so very much. -- Donna Paye, 05:15:48 07/12/09 Sun
  Farwellites,
  If you are new this year you don't know me, but the rest will. I miss you all so very much. It was a terrible choice I had to make not to return this year. I fought over it for almost two months.
  I miss all your grumpy faces stumbling in first thing in the morning. Those beautiful faces greeting me in the afternoon, and the hugs and kisses when I went home at the end of the day.
  I don't know how Farwell keeps finding the best of the best from all over the world but they do. The kitchen staff this year is amazing. I enjoy popping in and helping out you guys are great fun and hard workers.
  Kate,Isaac, Liam, and Telmo: I remember you guys best, but there is so many others too. I love you all so so much. Have fun, be safe, and remember that you can call if you need any thing.
  The girls from clinic week had a blast even with all the rain. Just thought you'd like to know.
  Love,
  Donna

• PLEASE PUT ON BOARD BY DINING ROOM :D -- Kaitlin K. (Camper '02-'06 CIT '07), 07:43:03 07/08/09 Wed
  hello all farwellites!
  
  so here I am, sitting bemused at a desk, interning at a PR company in London, and what comes on the radio? ... Year 3000! :D Although I'm at the office i HAD to send a shout out to all the lovely people enjoying their summer in VT. After 6 amazing years and 1 visit, I can't believe I won't get to set foot in the pavillion or see everyone's amazing talents this year. For all you first years, enjoy the time you have at Farwell - once you let camp into your heart, it never leaves!
  I know it's only first session, so this babble will be coming from a stranger for most of you, but of course i must say a huge hello and I MISS YOU to a Ms. Ellie Clough, a Ms. Tori Clough, and a Ms. Katy Sackman ... are Legs and Elena there as well yet? if so, you lovely girls, too! ah, well. have a blast this summer - hopefully I'll finally join you guys again next year :D
  
  thinking of my home beneath the pines,
  Kaitlin

• July 4th at Farwell -- Sylvia, 15:31:26 07/04/09 Sat
  
  Those stubborn Brits turned up again to "take back the colonies."
  
  A hard battle was fought. Both sides claim to have won the battle, however the territory is still under the control of the Americans.
  
  OOPS, here they come again. Riders on horseback descending the hillside. The Americans recovered the mail in the early morning skirmish or so it was thought. The riders are delivering a packet, whether it is a message from their generals or mail they didn't surrender earlier is not clear at this point.
  
  The horses are very well behaved and the riders make a fine spectacle.
  
  Now they are returning from whence they came.
  
  Peace reigns once again at Farwell as we look forward to afternoon and evening activities which include a reenactment of the Boston Tea Party and Farwell Fireworks over the Lake.
  
  Happy Fourth!

• Michael Jackson -- Lily Sackman (Sad.), 13:44:36 06/28/09 Sun
  Hey Camp Farwell,
  
  Guess what?? At 50, the 'King Of Pop' died. Yes, Michael Jackson. I was listning to Man In The Mirror on my ipod today. And i started to cry. SERIOUSLY!!! It's just so depressing. He changed pop so much. He created so many trends in clothing. Hairstyles, shoes, dance moves you name it. He was THE KING OF POP. Why did he have to die people?!?! Now, i know how it was like when John Lennon died. I never lived throught tough times like these ones. I don't know how to feel, sad, depressed, angry or frusterated. Yes, it is frusterating. He was only 50. Why did he have to die when i was starting to know his music more well, from all those camp experiences of at Lunch in the dining hall and when my whole cabin stood up when Man in The Mirror was playing and we lip singed. Or when my sister made a bet on how many times they will play 'Beat It' with her counsler. They played it 5 times in a row. Because, he was MICHAEL JACKSON. it's not the same as listening to 'Summer Days' from Grease or 'We Are The Champions' by Queen. It's just not the same. I can't resist listening to those songs again and again. But i never get tired of Michael Jackson. I hope people agree with me. Byeeeee. Can't wait till 2nd Session!!!
  P.S. When i was listning to 'Man in The Mirror' i seriously, literally could smell the Sundays of Cookout and the Camp Fire from Camp Farwell. I love you guys
  xx, Lily (from Choppy Waters)

• The tradition continues... -- Sylvia, 07:24:05 06/06/09 Sat
  
  When the snow goes up the mountain,
  And the mud's not ankle deep,
  We rake the leaves of winter,
  And pile them in a heap.
  
  Wild flowers bloom,
  Birds nest and sing,
  The little chipmunk scampers.
  We rake and clean
  The Farwell scene,
  To welcome summer campers.
  
  
  
  There is a crew here working hard on this sunny weekend.
  The difference they make is much appreciated and a great help!

• Calling Farwell Girls to Action! -- Alina, 10:42:46 04/20/09 Mon
  Hi everyone!
  This is Alina posting, I attended Farwell for 3 years, including last summer.
  Farwell is a very special place for me with great memories, but also a very pivotal memory--I had my first seizure at Farwell, '06. I can't speak more highly of the amazing way everyone at camp handled it. My counselor grabbed my stuffed animals and rode in the ambulance with me, and I still have the giant card you guys made for me, with a pink heart and stenciling, signed by everyone who was there during clinic week.
  I have epilepsy, as you probably deduced from the above paragraph (visit www.epilepsy.com to learn more), and May 16, 2009, I am walking in the Walk for Epilepsy, along with some friends. Another Farwellite, Sarah (she's attended camp for 3 years and is going to be a CIT this year) is walking with me, too!
  Since I know you all have great big hearts at Farwell, I'm asking for you Farwell born and Farwell bred girls to please donate!
  To donate please visit:
  http://www.firstgiving.com/scituate (my page)
  http://www.firstgiving.com/sarahbreynolds (Sarah's page)
  Thank you so much, guys; Camp Farwell is a really amazing community, and I loved my 3 summers there so much.
  Alina

• almost theree -- Katy Sackman, 06:21:33 04/22/09 Wed
  Hey guys.
  So, it's April 22nd. And to me that can only remind me that in two months it will be June 22nd...and school will be ending...and a couple of days after I will be packing and getting up to camp again for SEVEN WHOLE WEEKS.
  Last night and the night before it was raining and thundering outside and I intentionally opened my window very wide for it to remind me of those long cold nights at camp. It very much so worked. Despite the corniness.
  Anyways I'm very excited to be a C.I.T. I really don't doubt that any girls in my cabin I will love and adore!
  
  Cheryl, my mother and I filled out the online form you put up on the website, I just want to make sure you got it?
  hahahahaah
  I hope you all have a lovely rest of year.
  Much Love,
  Katy

• Hey!! =D -- Ruby Pressman, 20:08:04 03/04/09 Wed
  Hey everyone! How are you?! I hope you all remember me (except for those people who just came to Farwell last year)! But anyway, I just realized that I forgot to post the other day when I really meant to - because I saw Zaida Garcia! =D We both live in the city but for some strange reason, we have never managed to get together in the past few yrs until now! It was so nice to catch up with an old camp friend, something that does not always work well outside of camp since camp friends do not always mesh well with a real life setting, but I was so happy to hear about Farwell as of last summer and to see a warm and friendly face - I love you, Zaida! - But anyway, I'm wishing everyone else the best and hope I can come down and visit next summer for a day! I miss you all! :D
  
  I can hardly believe it's been so long since I first started going to Farwell. I was only 8, and it was always a big part of my life thereafter. My second home. My escape from life for just a few months. When life wasn't treating me well, it was always a safe haven that consoled me. I cannot fully express in words how much my time at Farwell meant to me, but I am eternally grateful for the time I spent in Vermont, and I got to know some amazing, unforgettable people who have made all the difference in my life. Thank you so much to everyone who made such an incredible experience possible. You are amazing!
  
  I am currently in the process of applying to college and am now just waiting for acceptance letters. It's really exciting but at the same time extremely nerve-wracking and suspenseful. It seems like such a big, new, and important part of my life is just around the corner, and I can't wait! I also went to Ireland last summer on a community service program, mind you, with people I had never met beforehand, instead of camp, the first time I did something completely and utterly impulsive. But I just knew it was right and it was an absolutely life-changing experience, something that taught me that sometimes the most significant turning points in your life can materialize when you least expect them to and when you just go with the flow and follow your natural instincts. At this point, I still have no clue what I want to do with myself this summer, but I am sure that sooner or later the answer will come to me.
  
  Anyway, enough of my rant. I miss you all, and anyone who remembers me, please feel free to write to me! My email is Rubytuesday314@aol.com. ;) Love you all! ¢¾
  
  -Ruby

• Ello' All -- Elena Karlsen-Ayala, 17:55:31 02/15/09 Sun
  Hello Girls!
  As usual, I am awful at keeping up during the year, and find myself rather busy...which is a terrible excuse for not keeping up on the message board. However, I have tons of free time on my hands right now, because I am very sick with a terrible flu. ickky. I've been sick for about a month now, and I'm getting very sick of being sick!! However, it brightens my day that the summer is just around the bend and will be here before we know it. And with luck I will be much better by then. I have checked out the new website, and I wanted to compliment Charyl on her hard work, it looks terrific! I was also pleased to see how many returning staff there are so far, lots of familiar faces, and some faces from the past.
  I was talking to my dear friend Katy Sackman yesterday and most of our conversation after catching up with eachother, revolved around pre-camp excitment. Anywho, besides a terrible bug, as is well back here in Hamden. We haven't had a bad snow storm in a while, which I am happy about, so crossing my fingers I hope there is no more snow for the season, and we can pass into SPRING. Allegra and I are doing well, and everything has remained eventless in Hamden, which I supposed is probably good. Anywho, hopefully in a few days I'll be back on my toes and feeling well again. I hope everyone has a good rest of their term, and with their studies, and I can't wait to be back under the pines trees, laughing and smiling.
  
  Con Amor Siempre
  With love, Always,
  -Elena Ka.

  Ode to Farwell
  I am ready to jump of the docks and into the lake at farwell. Listen to the crickets and the sound of laughter as i sit in my bunk at night, hear the donkey's heh hawing when i could still be sleeping. Watch Shelby give the morning announcements as i eat. Wait for my counsler to bring in the mail during quiet time. Have those first day jitters as i choose my activities, haul the super heavy laundry bag down to the wash room. And finally at the end of the day get in that big circle and sing... Camp Farwell CAmp Farwell we love so our dear camp in Vermont we here your call neath the pines Camp Farwell... turn around and head to our cabin for a deep sleep

• Bushfires -- Sophie Wade (Petting Zoo ('08)), 02:15:52 02/11/09 Wed
  Greetings folks,
  
  Sophie Wade here, aka Sap Bucketeer, Petting Zoo councelor, person with odd tendancy to skip/talk/etc. Just letting you know that both Teagan and I are fine, and that while the bushfires are quite close to Teagan, she has a fire plan set in place should she need to enforce it. They are the worst fires Australia has ever seen, the death toll now more than double our worst fire of the past. So fingers crossed Vistoria (our state) gets a healthy dose of rain (which hasn't happened in years, hense the problem in the first place) to put the fires out and give relief to an even further drought ridden country.
  
  Just had a look at the staff page and I can't believe how many people are returning... Now I want to go back even more! I really want to come back but University holidays dictate that I can't. I had a dream the other day that I did come back... it was marvellous.
  
  Hope school is well and you're ready for another exciting Summer!

• Fond Farwell Memories -- Natalie Arevalo, 20:20:37 12/26/08 Fri
  Hello My Farwellites!
  
  It's been ages since I've last visted the board or even posted! I'm not quite sure if anyone will remember me, I was a camper a few years ago as well as a C.I.T. I do remember most of my little campers, who are no longer little!, from all the posts on the board. I'm glad to see you girls are keeping your farwell pride!
  
  I was thinking of farwell on christmas eve as I lit my farwell candle from the last summer I was there. It was great remembering all the amazing memories I had from all those summers.My riding ribbons are still displayed proudly in my room. It seems like only last summer I was running around the windsurfing dock and singing songs by the campfire. Just the other day I was teaching my boyfriend a few tunes while we were waiting for the thanksgiving parade to start. He loved the Titanic Song!
  
  Also, Congrats to Shelby on the new bundle of Joy and as well as Lexi and Little Dave!
  
  Hopefully, I'll be able to drive up this coming summer for a long ovedue visit!
  
  Happy Holidays Everyone!
  
  Farwell Born and Farwell Bred,

• wish you all well -- Katy Sackman, 06:46:18 12/15/08 Mon
  hello farwellites and...friends of farwellites :)
  
  nothing's changed really since the last time i posted...well...nothing important should i say? haha
  just doing the same things as usual.
  well ACTUALLY i was just in a david mamet play, "the revenge of the space pandas"!
  just decorated the tree...made cookies...watched "meet me in st. louis"
  and thinking of camp.
  and how fast this whole year goes. that before we know it we're gonna be unpacking our trunks for a long seven/four/three weeks in a drafty wood cabin. not that that's bad. it made me who i am today. so i'm grateful for those icey mornings and the times i would get back from camp and think..."whoa. its actually BURNING outside."
  but anyway, before i get rambling,
  i wish everyone a HAPPY HOLIDAY(s)
  
  xxxxooooxxxx
  much love,
  Katy

• i miss camp :( -- Lily Sackman, 15:09:38 11/18/08 Tue
  hello farwelliets!i really miss choppy waterz! even if i've been there for 3 years straight every summer. i loved how small it wuz i used to hate but now i miss it a ton! i really miss marley with those faces she had and how
  she dragged me to play mud soccer! i really miss Imani who i've been with in the same cabin for 2 summers. it wuz my home. it wuz my home even if at 7:00 in the morning i had to get my sweatshirt and get my flipflops and when i stepped onto the grass i felt the cold frost swish across my farwell feet. i luved how in 3rd period i had to go in the lake and dive while i wuz kicking all over the place because i wuz so afraid from the fishies under me looking at me and thinking that it's summer time and farwell is opening up again and singing Farwell Born. i just miss camp and next year i'm going to be a junior. my sis is so lucky she gets to stay in Vermont for 7 weeks and i stay for 3 weeks it just goes to fast. i'm afraid to blink becuase i know before i know it my friends are going to be crying over my shoulder at banquet when the counselers are singing "under the pine trees".well my cat is like touching the computer screen whenever i type something. so...... like this is long. i just needed to let out my expressions hehehe. xoxo lily

• these trees are actually orange -- Katy, 16:04:08 10/11/08 Sat
  why hello my loves.
  i know, it's crazy how i keep coming back to this page but i've decided that i actually will keep everyone posted on my life throughout the year. hahah! whether you like it or not girls!
  it seems that camp people still come back into our lives throughout the year as well as at camp.
  so far me and charlotte have seen each other once, tori and ellie came to visit and we're seeing each other throughout the yearr, plus it's an extremely small world and i get to creep into missy's life through a bunch of people. hahaha
  today me and my dad went on a hike and the sign of the leaves turning color made me extremely sad inside. the fact that life is still moving on. that we're all back at school. and that another year will pass and we'll all be back together again, gives me a feeling of being alone, but always bonded with all of you lovies.
  hopefully everyones having a good year. even though it's pretty hard with school and such...
  i would love to hear from every single one of you!
  seven weeks at camp next year! oh. and...CITs '09 muchh???
  =]
  love, katy

• bubble! -- Morven, 06:55:11 09/04/08 Thu
  Oh Jeez. How I miss camp..
  
  I'm back home now - it's so weird to be in a place without American accents, I barely recognise a Scottish one anymore! And it's strange to be in a place where there's no jukebox blaring at dinner, and no one to sing and dance with at the table!
  
  I was with Sophiw in Kerrie's Merry Band of Travelers (or sheep, as we have also been known) and I don' think a day went by without a lengthy discussion about camp!
  
  Those of use hoping to come back are already counting down the days, and the people who don't think they can come back are busy trying to sort everything out at home so they can!
  
  I miss EVERYONE from camp! Especially all my loevly campers from 7th Heaven, Sap Bucket / Syrup Jug, and Pine Needles (the shirt is getting moving very soon!!)!!
  
  Roll on 2009!
  
  Morven (drama counsellor - in case you all forgot me!)xx

  Hi all, I've been checking this message board regularly, but haven't posted anything in a while, so I thought I would! I've been very busy with school and such, but am thinking of my Farwell family all the time. I'm already counting down to summer 2009! I hope everyone is having an excellent school year so far. I'd love to hear how any of you are doing. Remember to keep up your skills on those Rubik's Cubes!
  Love, Emily
  P.S. A very special shout out to any of my girls from 7th Heaven, Sugar Bowl, Stepping Stones or Choppy Waters! Please let me know how you're doing!

• The Last Day of Summer -- Sylvia, 09:51:04 09/21/08 Sun
  and the War Canoes are being moved to shelter in the pavilion along with the surf boards, the night-watch table is back close beside the house for the convenience of pre-camp workers in the spring and Farwell appears to be a camp-in-waiting.
  There is something sad about the bare quiet.

  Hey everyone! I've been having some Farwell nostalgia, and I thought I'd check out the website. Has everyone seen the 'meet our staff' page, haha.
  The picture of me and Joy reads:
  
  JOYFUL: Mom! Mom! Stop talking to Inbal! Pay attention to me! MOM!
  MARY: Ahhhh.... one thousand pounds of irratated toddler-like pony rubbing me into the fence!
  
  Anyway :D, my take on that. What do other people think? I say we have a Caption Contest... what is Joy saying? :D haha.
  
  Keep in touch everyone, I miss and love you all!

• Fall at Farwell -- Lexi Burroughs (formerly Diamond), 19:18:00 10/02/08 Thu
  Hello All!! It was a cold rainy day today in Bradford/Newbury VT. I took my gang of dogs up to camp for a run around. I was met by Charyl who accompanied us on our wet walk. We had a great time together in the rain! Camp looks so beautiful right now. The leaves are falling and changing and the grass is super GREEN. It is very quiet except for the exceptionally loud bang of the acorns hitting the cabin rooves. I hope everyone is doing well and enjoying the fall (if its happening where you live!) Take care all--LOVE Lex

• The missage of Farwell -- Sophie Wade (That Crazy Petting Zoo), 17:36:22 08/27/08 Wed
  Greetings my dear Farwell buddies,
  
  How we miss you. I'm currently part of a gang called Kerry's Merry Gang of Travellers (a bunch of counselors) travelling the country most of you call home (America). The Farwell bubble, kids, counselors, directors, goats, donkeys, calves, rabbits, kittens, ducks, chickens and horses are all dearly missed. You would not believe how much.
  
  So, I'm going to email my Uni in an attempt to get 10 weeks off in the middle of the year (goodluck Sophie...) so I can come back next year... I'll let you know how that goes.
  
  Email me!! Please, all of you... jenaipasdufromage@hotmail.com (Why yes, that does mean "I haven't got any cheese" in French... I am definately normal.)
  
  Love you all,
  miss my Sap Bucketeers,
  the girls and fake guys of the marvelous Mulan,
  all Petting Zoo goers,
  and basically camp people in general,
  
  xxsoph

• Big Bull Moose visits Farwell. -- Sylvia, 11:55:01 09/18/08 Thu
  
  He was huge with humongous antlers.
  
  Charyl saw him in the yard in front of the lodge office.
  She got the camera and started out but he had moved past the pavilion and the shower house and when she got out there he was not in sight.
  
  She went out a little later to track him. Chuck had noticed that the water in the lake was disturbed but he hadn't seen anything just prior to the moose sighting. Charyl found signs that the moose had indeed been by the water's edge.
  She tracked him to the tennis courts where he had left evidence of his investigation. That is puzzling. She went deeper into the woods where she heard and saw him on the other side of a clump of trees. The ground was swampy and her photos were fuzzy.
  
  He seemed in no hurry and Charyl's presence was barely noticed.
  
  Too bad he didn't pose for a classic shot.
